Accompanying this is a high-pitched tone from the PC speaker.

Ahem...Perhaps a warning tone that YOUR COOLING SYSTEM HAS FAILED?? This is not a security question, I'm not sure how it made it on to the list, but please take it to a hardware support forum. Most likely the fan is full of crud and has overloaded the fan header, try cleaning the fan, and swapping to a different header.
