Do Dell notebook computers automatically shut off when they overheat?

Question by ǝƃɐʞǝpuɐd: Do Dell notebook computers automatically shut off when they overheat?
I have a Dell notebook computer, and I’m downloading a program, which is taking forever. I’ve detecting that the bottom is getting somewhat hot. I’ll need to leave soon, and I was planning on leaving my notebook on while I was gone so the program would finish downloading. If the computer does overheat, will it always automatically shut off (like a safety feature) before permanent damage is done? Thanks a lot.

as a last resort your laptop will shut down to avoid meltdown. name it self defense. but if the over heating persists doing sure you get it check into. disinfected out the system of dust and generally make surely it is getting good circulation.
