On the other hand, opening a browser makes my ThinkPad overheat and shut down. Yes, the fan controller is dead.
When was the last time you repasted it?
The fan controller on the motherboard is dead (the fan itself works, it just never gets the signal to turn on). A minute of sustained 100% load is enough to get it over 100C. I have a replacement motherboard somewhere, but I moved last year and it’s still in a box.
