So this has been happening to me recently, and I think I know the solution but I just want to be sure.
My laptop (Lenovo 0319 46u) has recently been 'overheating' and shutting off after about 15ish minutes. However, the computer hardware itself shows no sign of overheating except for the temps in core temp. I have cleaned out all dust and reapplied thermal compound. My temperatures in core temp still manage to reach 140+ degrees Celsius and it eventally shuts down. I know laptops run hotter but this hot?
I believe this is a BIOS issue though, because my fan still spins up and the CPU still gets hot in BIOS. Although the fix may be to flash / update BIOS I am afraid it will shut down mid-update and brick the PC, which I don't want.
Hopefully someone can help me out. Thanks so much,
Corbin
