((I don't know the exact name of the laptop, its a gateway and its fairly old though))

I've been having troubles with the laptop, it'll shut down randomly and when I try to turn it back on again it beeps loudly, and its just one long beep. Almost all the time when I try to play games, it runs extremely slow (Should be at 60 fps, plays anywhere from 2-40 fps). Someone has said it was the fan and I'd like to be able to fix the computer myself. Is there anything I can do to fix it again?

I would get a new laptop but I like this one a lot.

Thanks
