Weird sound?
I have an Asus laptop, which I've hd for about a year and a half.
It works great, but like 10 minutes ago in the bottom left corner(of the base) it makes this weird crackling sound, and then it crashes.
It goes to a blue screen where it says that this could be caused by a hardware problem.
I installed two sims expansion games three days ago, and then it worked great. So I don't think it's that.
Is there any way I could fix it? My laptop is pretty important to me, and it has a lot of stuff on it that I need.
If it's likely that the repair shop will tell me to get a new one, please tell me, and I won't botehr paying loads of money to be told that I need a new laptop.
Thanks!

Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
My guess is hard drive failure, stuck fan, power supply problem, or motherboard problem, in that order. You won't be able to fix any of those (except maybe a stuck fan) by yourself.
If you can't boot into Windows, and it doesn't even give you a blue screen or "Windows has shut down unexpectedly," it's probably a hard drive failure. All of your data is probably lost and unrecoverable. You'll need a new hard drive to get it working. Take it to a computer repair place.
If you can boot into Windows and it gives you a blue screen, find the error code and error name. The error code is something like 0x012A00. The error name is something like IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO. Email or IM me the error code and name and I'll give you more info. Don't tell me it in the feedback here, I can't respond to that.

If the error actually is IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO, then it is almost certainly a stuck fan.
If the blue screen doesn't stay up long enough for you to read it or the computer just restarts without giving a blue screen, follow these instructions:

If the computer starts normally, but goes to a blue screen after a certain amount of time, go to start, run. Type:
eventvwr.msc
and press ok. Go to "system" on the left. Find the entry with a red X closest to the top that says "stop error". Double click that entry to get the error code and name.
Good luck!

Well, I have never had a laptop, but that sometimes happens to my computer. But maybe you should take off The Sims from your computer and see if it does that again. If so, get a flash drive and put all the things that are important to you on the flash drive and take it to the Geek Squad or something like that.
Hope I helped,

Well it seems to me that theirs just a glitch in it. If you take it back to the store they will probably give you a completely new laptop, but they might be able to get the things you have saved on it. You really cant fix it yourself. Maybe you can just try to delete everything off of it, like the things you have downloaded or installed.
Good luck and hope your laptop start working again. =]
