I would say that either your motherboard doesn't support the os you are normally using or has gone corrupt. Try either re-installing your normal os or try getting a new harddrive, because it does sound like harddrive problem. Try to find out where the noise is coming from.

Because XP is an older OS that it might either take longer to crash or since it's older it doesn't require much as say Windows 7 or Windows 10, a lot more is in those operating systems so your HDD will do more. I would definitely say get a new harddrive as that is most likely the issue.
