A user working in a warehouse calls and tells you that his computer keeps freezing or rebooting at random, it makes an annoying high-pitch squeak/squeal when running. What is likely to be the issue?
Warehouses are often very dusty, which could cause a fan to stop working and promote overheating. These symptoms (freezing/rebooting) indicate overheating, the noise could be a failing fan. These symptoms do not indicate a battery issue or sticky keys. They could a bad driver, but coupled with the noise it and location is not likely.
