Each processor and graphics chip has a clearly defined optimal value of temperature (operating temperature). The laptop automatically shuts down if it exceeds the maximum allowed temperature of the CPU, which will cause a shutdown of the laptop. Depending on the ambient temperature, unexpected shutdowns are different. Also, if there is no quality cooling system, due to frequent heating, it can lead to burning out the components which will cause serious damage.
