Hello,
Since yesterday, I have been having issues with my Vaio laptop (VPCEJ2C5E): it suddenly shuts down without warning, either during the Windows startup or a few minutes after (Windows loads, the desktop appears normally, I surf the internet a bit and bam)!
I cleaned the fan not long ago and the computer doesn't have time to heat up before it shuts down.
BUT, after a few startup attempts when the problem occurred, I heard a strange noise like "clack clack clack" (hard to describe a sound in writing), probably an element of the computer that has failed! How can I check what it is?
If it was the fan, could that cause the sudden shutdown of the PC like what I’m experiencing?
I don't have many other ideas regarding the cause of this problem, so if you have any leads, I’m interested. Here are some additional details if that can help:
Config: Intel Core i5 2430M CPU @2.4 GHz
Ram: Ballistix Sport SO-DIMM 8 Go (2 x 4 Go) DDR3L 1866 MHz CL10
Crucial MX300 750 Go SSD
Windows 10 64-bit Home edition version 1607
Note that at the beginning of August, I replaced my old HDD with a new SSD, changed the RAM modules from 6 to 8Go, and migrated my OS from Windows 7 to Windows 10 before doing a clean installation of Windows 10. That said, everything was working perfectly until yesterday. I should mention that in the meantime I traveled, so the PC which usually stays on my desk moved a bit. I checked the hard drive connections just in case, but it doesn’t seem to be coming from there.
Have a nice day!

A clack clack clack could be a failure of the hard drive... Is there a little high-pitched whistling?
The RAM, does it work or not? If it doesn't work, your computer won't start.
Normally, if it's the fan, it should overheat and show you a blue screen.
Test with your old hard drive, and check your connections!

Hello, this is your Crucial hard drive. There have been recalls for this issue, and given your malfunction and the noise, I can tell you 100% that this is the problem. Have a good day.
