That started making grinding noise could indicate some potential hardware problem on your computer, for example aging capacitors on motherboard, some issue some coil or problem with the fans.
One possible explanation is that fan issue, it is being worn out and/or dirty, and starts making more noise when is starts spinning faster than when the CPU is more loaded.
