cpu cooler problem

hi all, well yesterday i was playing day of defeat source (which was updated to the orange box engine) and i was playing for half an hour when i heard a loud noise from my case. ive heard it before but it usually only lasts 3-5 seconds, this time it went on for 15 seconds then without any warning my pc just shut itself off no error messages or anything. so i let it sit for 5 minutes then booted it up again noise started and it crashed again. repeated this a bunch of times and let it sit. this morning i took the case door off and ran it i think my cpu cooler is loose and its fan was going like a bat outa hell and with the door open i got it to my brothers desktop cause it was the first thing i clicked. right now im doing an avg virus scan. after its finished ill restart it and see if it crashes. is my cpu or its cooler causing the crash?

thanks in advance guys
