If the fan is grinding on something, that means it's not spinning at full speed and laptop fans go supersonic, because they need it.
Check that out first, as it's the most probable cause right now.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from simpiex : "laptop running super slow except boot"

my laptop is running super slow it takes like 10-20 seconds to load websites sometimes and like 10 seconds to start up random apps like battle.net and such but it only takes 2-4 seconds to boot up does anyone know whats wrong? i know that one of the fans is half broken as in its slower but the laptop doesnt overheat at all i have a feeling that its just not running fast as in not usin ram/cpu/gpu correctly or something (acer asprice v15 nitro black edition)
