Gone up in smoke...

[matt100]

That cable sleeving STINKS when it overheats.

You'll probs find that the positive wire (the red one) always has current going to it, it's the negative wire that is switched (the black one) and the positive circuit has earthed out on something (maybe the speaker has shorted itself out during the POST beep, all it takes is the internal coil to snap and ark against the speaker chassis, earthing right through that, then onto the case, up to the PSU and down the earth cable) the unrestricted current overheats the copper wire and the shielding goes up in smoke. Ergo lots of smoke and a nasty smell.

Was it touching anything hot? maybe the smoke was just the insulation burning and nothing more?

RTFT!

As i said, the copper cable gets toasty and the sleeving around it goes up in smoke.
