Can a laptop turn itself off if it overheats too much? or will it explode/burn its internal components?
My main concern is if the laptop “knows” that It’s overheated too much, to the point that keeping itself running & not shutting down is self-destructive or even fatal.
My laptop is a model from the 2010s, so I’m not sure if it has the technology to turn itself off.
I overheated my 12700k and it corrupted the C SSD and required reformatting. The CPUs temps didn’t shut it down, but 300gb of continual writes made the file system borked.
