There may be a question like this, but my situation is different.

I am on an: HP Pavilion dv3
Windows 7 32 bit
3 GB RAM
286GB Hard Drive
Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53 ghz Nvidia Geforce G 105M

The computer is unmodded and stock.

The computer seems to crash after a few minutes of playing games like Minecraft or World of Tanks. When it blacks out and crashes it makes a 0.1 second long whining sound high pitched.

Also, during normal usage (no games) (im doing web browsing) the fan runs hot and pretty high pitched too.

Probably your laptop is getting too high in temperature.

It is good that you enable logging, within for ex Speedfan configure tab. When you enable it, it gives you an idea of how much you are asking from your computer components.

What you can actually do is, following:

  • Get your laptop in pieces
  • Replace all thermal paste/grease with high quality (like for ex Arctic Silver)
  • Remove dust from fans/radiators and/or replace them with higher air flow fans
  • (laptop cooling pad can also make some improvement)

If you're not familiar with this, get help from an expert!

Also keep in mind that maybe your system in idle is already overloaded with tasks and processes. So keep track of this too... maybe you can tighten up your system. for exemple only when playing games.

Hope this advice will make a difference.
