hey guys
i don't know if this is appropriate place to put this post, but here it is.
something strange is happening to my laptop.
it's all started about two months ago and i have no idea what might it be.
when i turn it on, some strange sound, like loud CLICK comes from inside (i think it's something on the motherboard) and monitor starts to flickering and everything freezes.
then i need to suht it down while long pressing turn on button.
here's the link to the video i recorded for you to see what i mean.

You should take it to your local computer shop to be looked at.
[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.

“The people are my God” stressing the factor determining man’s destiny lies within man not in anything outside man, and thereby defining man as the dominator and remoulder of the world.
