I had left my Dell Inspiron notebook runninig overnight, and I have just, minutes ago, been woken up by what I believed to be the click of death. It was a rather loud noise that, on retrospect, could have been a malfunctioning fan as well. Well, the click of death was my first reaction, though, so I immediately did a hard power-off, unplugged everything and stuck the whole thing into my fridge.

I've only very recently heard about the whole sticking-near-dead-harddrive-into-fridge thing, so it came very timely. But like I said, I'm actually not so sure about what actually happened, as I'd never heard the click of death before. So two questions immediately popped up. First, the obvious: what to do? And second, possibly more importantly: is it a dumb move to stick the entire notebook into the fridge? Do I risk damaging, say, the LCD by subjecting it to that temperature?
