Thermal Paste / Thermal Pads
The thermal interface material (paste or pads) between the CPU/GPU and the heatsink degrades over time, losing its thermal conductivity. Additionally, dust accumulates within the heatsink fins and fan blades, severely impeding airflow. This combination prevents efficient heat transfer and dissipation, causing the system to overheat rapidly and trigger an emergency shutdown to prevent damage.

Cooling Fan Assembly
The cooling fan is critical for moving hot air away from the heatsink. If the fan's motor fails, its bearings wear out (leading to excessive noise like humming or grinding), or its blades are physically obstructed, it cannot maintain adequate airflow. This results in the internal components, particularly the CPU and GPU, reaching critical temperatures and forcing the system to shut down as a protective measure.

Logic Board
A malfunctioning sensor might report incorrect temperatures, or a fault in the GPU power delivery circuit on the logic board can cause the GPU to overheat or draw excessive power, leading to system instability and protective shutdowns, especially during graphically intensive tasks like video playback.
