The cool down device started to make weird noise like its climbing a mountain with a small car. After restarting the laptop it stopped, checked if there is something in it but nothing.
What was that?
How to avoid it?
What caused it?

You'll need to explain this more in detail. Do you mean your computer's fan was being excessively loud, or sounded like something was in it? Was the computer hot at the time? Did it sound like another device?

Yes that's the word I was searching for.
No it was cold.
It sounded like a truck climbing a mountain excessively loud.

a small car.

A car or a truck? :lol:

Don't post if you don't have anything useful to say.
To Khm - did anything specific happen before it or just randomly started?

Randomly started, i was in that time using google chrome and skype only.....

Does it return to its normal sound level at any moment?
Most likely it is a fan, which is failing. Try listening, which fan is doing it.
If you have warranty, take it back to the shop.

It's the first time happens to me after 2 years of using the laptop, i got scared to catch a fire so i shut it down. :rolleyes:

For some pc's (powerful) it sound like vacuum cleaner :/ because it gives out all the PC has.

Sounds like a faulty fan bearing to me, easy to fix/replace. Inadvisable to do yourself if your laptop is still under warranty.

Anything else? :rolleyes:

Off Topic but at first i thought it transformed into a truck.
Anyways, is this issue resolved?

Most likely fan has gathered dust and is unable to mountain a low temperature, thus it runs on highest RPM even though still without efficiency.
What you can do is put 2 books besides the laptop, holding it on air for better air-flow. Also make sure to clean out the fan from dust or whatever you see.

I am using another fun under it.

Happened only once.

That is because the computer's cooling system is too inefficient to properly cool it at heavy load.

This is scary for the 2nd time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?list=LLKJTAlDCeT6SWrJPr-FW1VQ&v=PVpc3L7uiJU

If it's not the optical drive spinning with a disk inside of it and not the fan spinning at a high speed to cool the laptop then the last option would be the HDD making that noise.
The fans/cooling for the laptop could be blocked up with dirt causing it to strain when trying to cool the laptop.
-
Its not the place of the harddrive as I just touched where exactly it is, the noise stopped and the fan worked normally after it. Will check if there is also maybe a cable blocking it or something.

When i heard the noise, i thought that it was that, as when i got my new psu the fan was chewing my cooler wire, so yeah, it made the same noise.
