Default Re: Laptop making weird squealing noise/monitor flickering

I had the same problem with my Dell 5100, but I only heard a loud beeping noise once. The monitor started flickering like you described about 3 minutes after turning it on and starting up Windows. Then it wouldn't turn on. I wasn't under warranty anymore, though, so I bought a new computer. FWIW, I don't think it was the fan on mine. The computer wasn't on long enough to overheat.
