Strange crash

[Guest]

I was playing a game on my laptop when a loud shrieking, whistling noise
happened and the screen went black and the system rebooted. Any ideas of
what happened? My laptop is only four years old...hope it's not biting the
dust.

Thank you.

Hi,

Sounds like a fan bearing seized. I would see about having it replaced
before attempting to use the machine again, otherwise it may quickly
overheat and damage many internal system components as well.
