It makes 4 sounds and then not even something appear in my screen. I tried to remove and put back video card but that didnt helped. Maybe its kind of a virus? Thx for reading and please if you know, tell me.

Sounds like the click of death... its the sound of the HD moving the actuator back to its home position after it fails to position itself over the correct part of the HD platter. Sometimes it makes an audible click sound. After too many failed attempts it will just shut down and go silent. Most likely the HD has suffered catastrophic failure. Hopefully you backed up stuff.
