Don't processors have something like this built in? I had a computer once where the fan died and I didn't know until the computer just stopped like it would if the lights went out.

Yes, most laptops have a temperature sensor that will shut them down if they get to hot, but they will allow you to turn it back on once it cools down again. I have never seen one the is permanently shutdown because of that unless you got it hot enough to melt the circuits inside.

you know the the overtemp gauge that won't allow a laptop to start if it is tripped? am I wrong in my discovery that it can be tripped even while the computer is off?
