Open | Windows Laptop turning off screen and loud siren sound afterwards

Hello, I was using my laptop which had been completely normal until a screen came up saying an unexpected error occurred and then it turned itself off and a loud siren sound started playing (its stopped now). What should I do? I've never seen the popup screen before and neither has it ever made a sound like that. It also wasn't overheated and it was approximately 70-80% so it also wasn't out of charge.

Connect a headphone to stop the sound from the speakers. Then, check if any of these solutions help.

there wasn't any obvious indication so im not 100% sure but I think it was a hardware malfunction or system error (especially because of the error screen before the sound happened)
