Laptop crashed, multiple beeping sounds and black screen

Hello,

I was using my laptop today and it suddenly crashed. I was only using opera (not watching anything) and spotify. Recently I had problems with it overheating, but I sorted it out and I monitored it everyday after that, and the temperature didn't go over 60 C degrees. So I'm pretty sure that wasn't the problem. First when I tried to turn it back on, the screen lit but there was nothing on it and there was a beeping sound, which repeated for 8 times (as in 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1). I researched it online and tried pressing the D key on startup that brings those colours on and then supposedly fixes it. The colours came but nothing after that. I tried turning it off and on again and this time the screen didn't lit up at all, it was plain black and I've heard the beep repeated 7 times. I tried holding the Fn key while starting it up, tried turning it on while on charger and without it, tried without the battery. I also tried taking the battery out and pressing the power button for about 60seconds, and then putting the battery back in and turning it on. Moreover, I tried connecting the HDMI to tv to see if it's only the screen and if it'd work on tv. Nothing. Anyone has any ideas??

Have you check the CPU fan? My computer did something similar in the past and it was the CPU fan, locked up like an engine with no oil.

What happened to me is my screen went black whilst I was looking at my brothers laptop (i was playing People playground and opera was running in the backround) When i tried to click it made 3 low pitch beeps so if i clicked 3 times it would do 9 beeps. Strange but after i turned it on and off it started working again, maybe RAM?
