I own a Sony Vaio Laptop and just last year, starting June the laptop started making a loud fan noise then shuts down completely.
I believe this laptop is 5 years old, and just last year this problem has occurred. I can still use it and turn it on but only for a short period of time since it shuts down again when the fan starts making noise.
Some other days, it gets so bad that I can't even use it because no matter how many start-ups, it still shuts down.

Might or might not be related but the battery has been broken since 2016 I think? Like it doesn't charge anymore and even if it's plugged in all it says is 'No battery present' and it needs to be kept plugged in to the charger or else it will shut down.
 
Solution
Sounds like the fan is going bad and that is causing overheating. Which will cause damage if you don't resolve it. Try having the fan replaced.

You may also want to get a new battery, but that is a separate issue.
