I've kept my laptop on for around 6 hours last night then it suddenly turned off. When i try to turn it back on,the led indicators was on,the fan was spinning and the hdd was running as well . Then it turned off as soon as there was a sound coming from the hdd. Some say its the hdd but there were times where i could use the laptop until the sound comes up again. Sometimes I could even play games and watch Youtube and etc until I restart the laptop. It started all over again. Besides it was just a single click! Below are the temperatures of the laptop when not in use and some other report which i couldn't really understand.

Hard drives may click on shut down as well(the head parking). My older laptop hard drive also parked at idle or when inactive.

My recommendation is to check the temperatures with HWmonitor and see the hard drives smart status with CrystalDiskInfo

Hwmonitor - if a system gets too hot it will shut off to prevent damage.

CrystalDiskInfo. Normally a hard drive issue results in a blue screen error, but it is always worth looking into.

I am pretty sure it wasn't a beep. It was a single "click" sound in the hdd. There were times when i could surf the net and stuff. Everything was fine up until the "click"sound in the hdd. Could it be the power supply? Or some sort of short circuit in the laptop?
