Logic Board, M1, 8GB RAM
On a fanless architecture, thermal regulation and emergency shutdowns are controlled by the System on Chip (SoC) and the Power Management IC (PMIC) on the logic board. A forced shutdown indicates these sensors or the voltage regulation modules are failing to throttle the processor correctly or are experiencing an internal short. Replacing the logic board is the only definitive hardware resolution as all thermal management components are integrated.

Thermal Interface Material
If the mechanical bond between the M1 SoC and the internal aluminum heat spreader has been compromised or the factory paste has dehydrated, heat cannot transfer to the chassis. This causes localized heat spikes that trigger an emergency shutdown before the passive cooling can react.
