https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m8mW2FzCKUYpDNRNhrCwxTt_kb4jbopy/view?usp=sharing this is the grinding noise produced by my pc
(Prebuilt)
Intel i7 9700f
Gtx 1650 4gb
8gb ram
Windows 10
And one thing I've noticed about the pc is that the cpu fan is tilted towards the bottom right

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

One time occurrence?

I am unable to pick out any "grinding" noise per se.

Grinding likely a hard drive if you have a hard drive or drives installed.

Could also be a fan. Perhaps some piece of debris "blew in" and then got "blown out".....

Do you have all data etc.. safely backed up and verified recoverable and readable?

If the noise re-occurs try to pinpoint the location/source.

It's the third time it's happening, i haven't backed up my data

Backup your data immediately.

However, remember that anything you do could cause data loss.

Hopefully it is not too late and that a successful backup can be achieved.

Overall, at this point in time (with three "episodes") it may not be too late.

Then, again, try to pinpoint the source of the noise.
