Solved! Auto shut down

[rohansahriar.1]

Hi guys , I have a Dell Inspiron 13 7000. I'm a university student I use the laptop mainly for skl work and watching videos. So I was using the laptop while I was since bed and it was on my tummy while the charging plug was connected. Suddenly out of nowhere it started going into sleep mode . So I thought the vents were dirty but they weren't even the fan was pretty clean. It had just been a year I bought. The the copper thing connected to the fan was extremely hot tho. I don't expect the thermal paste to dry up. But is it actually the thermal paste that has dried up or is it something else.i don't thinks it's a software issue. What should I do.

If it is overheating it is unlikely that it is software. And yes over time the thermal paste can totally need replacing. I would try that first.

You should look at what is right by the area that is overheating. Is it where the battery is? Or something else?

It's the copper thingy connected to the fan. I think it's the heat sink
