My laptop will rarely act up and shut down on its own. When it does, I boot it back up and once it boots, I have issues running things I ran just fine previously. Before the shut-down, I could run a certain game at 40-60 fps easily. After, it can't even run at an adequately playable framerate. It does this with all 3d games, and has major problems with particles in general as well. It's a dell inspiron 15 3000 series that used to be an 8.1 os, but now it's 10. Had this issue on both operating systems.

Anyone know what may be causing this?

Your system sounds like it's overheating. The fan is trying to compensate to remove excess heat away this causing it to go loud as it spins right up.

Like a PC it can get very dusty in there. Try opening it up and using compressed air or a vacuum remove dust inside and around fans. If you're adventurous type you could try replacing the thermal paste for the graphics unit and the processor. If you go down this route I usually use thermal paste by Artic silver.
