My Pavillion 15-ec0101AX which I bought recently suddenly locks itself while playing Fifa 19 and the fan also makes too much noise .

@ani10sh here are a few steps that should help us identify and resolve the issue:
Step 1: Run hardware diagnostic tests
Make sure the issue is not hardware related by performing diagnostic tests.
-
In Windows, search for and open the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics for Windows app.
If the app is not installed on your computer, download the latest version from the HP Hardware Diagnostics website.
-
On the main menu, click System Tests.
-
Click the System Fast Test tab.
-
Click Run once.
While the test is running, the time remaining and test result for each component displays on the screen.
-
If a component fails a test, write down the failure ID (24-digit code) and contact HP Customer Support. The information is also available in the Test Logs on the main menu.
If no system component failed, continue with these steps.
-
On the HP PC Hardware Diagnostic app, click System Test, and then click System Extensive Test. The Extensive Test might take several hours to complete.
-
If an issue is not found, continue to the next step.
