Hi, I need help with my laptop. I've been using this laptop for over 4 years, and suddenly this laptop makes a REALLY loud friction sound. I have tried to clean the fan TWICE, and changed the thermal paste as well, but it does not help at all. Kindly need some idea why this happens. Is this really a fan issue or hard drive failure? Thank you.

Faulty fan bearing maybe? Could try lubricating the fan. 

 

If it was a hard drive failure then the computer probably woudn't boot. You could try replacing the HDD with an SSD anyway, it would at least make your laptop a lot faster. 

 

Those are basically the only moving parts, so it has to be the fan or HDD, and if it still boots onto the HDD then most likely it's the fan.

That sounds like breaking fan. Can be damaged blade or just bearing gone bad. Either way, coming from experience, it will get worse. Only option for laptop out of warranty is to change the cooler yourself. If you can find replacement for it.

 

Here's lead to start looking at https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=299273.0

You can ofc take it to local replace shop and ask how much it would cost for them to do it for you.
