[help 4 my friend pl0x] Laptop shut down and made a pop noise then the screen flashed
K so this is from my friend at school and he is teh n00bz at computers so I couldn't really get much good info.

Basicly he said he was getting pop ups from his anti virus that it was going to expire and he needed to pay again, now I dont know if this was a virus in itself or what, but he says it was the same AV program he had saying this. It keeps popping up a bunch of times and then-

It turns off and makes a loud POP sound like when a light bulb explodes he says.... After that the power button is blinking and so he pushes it to try to turn it on a gain and then-

The screen flashes really bright and restarts or shuts down again I cant remember.



additional info; The laptop is pretty new on sale from black friday I think for like 300$. He leaves it on like all the time. I don't know what model it is.

After this he quit because he didn't want to fuck it up more. Any ideas?
