Yes, this type of heat accident is not that uncommon. And W10 machines by default do this quick power off instead of power off.
Carlos, I have no idea why a Windows "Fast Startup" feature migh overheat a computer. As far as I know it truly powers down at the end of the process.
Because if the battery runs out (I have not tested this with W10) it wakes up for a minute to do a real hibernation to disk, not to ram. If this procedure crashes, the machine stays running (while the battery lasts), at a time when the laptop can be inside a bag, where the fan can not work. In fact, it may wake up automatically to do other tasks that it has postponed - this I have been told that happened to a friend. I have known this to happen, it is not imagination. In fact, there was a warning about this in my laptop documentation. Actually, my laptop was unable to power off in W10 the last time I tried, after the last service pack type update. It goes dark, but does not power off. My guess is that it tries to hibernate, but fails, because the Windows partition is not marked bootable (I'm certain of this: marking the partition bootable allows my laptop to hibernate in Windows). Instead, I had to tell W10 to reboot, then hit the button at the bios screen. Somehow it must have activated quick power off by default on my back. I'll verify this next time I boot W10. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
