Hi,

You have experienced a hardware failure that requires a technician, you're
not going to be able to fix this yourself. There is very little an average
user can do to fix a laptop as they require some expertise when it comes to
hardware. The "getting hot and loud noises" part is a farily certain sign
that you were headed for disaster.
