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.
A friend of a friend’s house burned down due to a laptop overheating. His daughter left it running on the bed and the fluffy comforter blocked all the vents. This was maybe 15-20 years ago, and at the time, it wasn’t unheard of. I wouldn’t trust any device to turn itself off, especially lives are on the line.
