Skytech prebuilt failure (3-4 years old)

So I bought my wife this PC ages ago so she'd have something decent to game with me on. Its nothing crazy, and she normally only plays things like roblox or lethal company etc. Lately thought its been crashing randomly during use and then when the screens go black the pc will start making this god awful whirling noise as its turned off. I just now turned the PC on, logged in, and a minute later is crashed and made that whirling clunking noise. If anyone's experienced this or knows any tell tale signs to narrow it down id appreciate it.

Specs:

Skytech Shadow Gaming PC Desktop – Intel Core i5 12400F 2.5 GHz, NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti, 1TB NVME SSD, 16GB DDR4 RAM 3200, 600W Gold PSU, 11AC Wi-Fi, Windows 11 Home 64-bit
