    This has happened twice so far, I managed to capture the last few seconds of the second time with my phone camera.

    The sound goes on for about a minute and the whole laptop shakes on the desk like a phone vibrating.

    It's much much louder than the high setting from the fan... no idea what's causing it.

    Dell tech just said to update my bios... which was already at the latest version. Currently waiting a second reply from them.

    Anyone have any idea what's wrong with it?
