Okay so what happened is when you started the game, its like your computer ate it.
The noise was your computer farting.
Simple logic.
(seriously though)
Okay, chances are your fan is bad, and the gears were stripped, thats the noise.
The restart can come after that so it has a chance to get it back on track, I dont think you should worry about it, if the problem persists call a foreigner- sorry, tech support.
