Question Laptop wouldnt start up

[faringdon]

Hi,
Today, my Laptop (Huawei Matebook D, Windows 11) was getting hot even though i was just doing some "light" excel work . The fan was going at top speed it seemed.
Then it was refusing to save things, giving error messages i didnt understand.
Then i shut it down in case it just needed to cool down.
But when i started it back up a half hour later, it, for 30 minutes, wouldnt recognise my PIN...and just kept going black screen..........it would allow me to restart
it, but just went black screen again...i could access the task manager, but to no avail.
The laptop seems ok now though.
Do you know what might have happened?

Do you recall the details of the error messages you received? That might help zero in on the problem.
