Sounds like you need to open the case and take a look and listen. If it's the hard drive sounds like it's on it's way out. Also instead of unpluging it from the wall hold the power button in for 5seconds it should shut off. Is this a factory built system(HP, Compaq, Dell, Gateway)? Also if you open the case make sure there is nothing blocking the cooling fans and stopping the causing the system to overheat and lock up.
