Extreme (burning) overheating with the lid closed

None of this ever happens in my Toshiba, with the same Ubuntu and Windows 10 installed.

After searching around, this extreme overheating is apparently not an isolated issue and some possible solutions lie here:

Too hot to handle and boot problems

Installed a new WD Black SN850 2 TB. Tried to install from USB drive prepared by Rufus. This did not work. No media found. Read Windows 10 Installation on the Framework Laptop DIY Edition - Framework Guides It’s a good guide if you’re not using Rufus. My Framework community login did not work for adding a comment to this guide. Searched. Decided to start over after disabling secure boot. It was an educated guess, which turned out to be correct.

Laptop Overheating and Losing Connection to M.2 Drive

Essentially the problem is that I find my computer overheating while the lid is closed, and this overheating (presumably) causes the M.2 drive to disconnect. I downloaded the latest firmware update today, which said that it solved this problem, but this has not fixed my problem. I already backed up my data because of the possibility of my M.2 drive failing, and I believe I am still under warranty, but wanted to see if anyone else is having this problem (and perhaps any solutions).

So I strongly suspect the issue is with the Framework computer. It’s been an issue for at least 2 months (for others) and I’m concerned that it wasn’t addressed by Framework and I wasn’t notified by email of something so potentially serious prior to doing the latest BIOS update.

I’m now worried that this extreme overheating shortened the lifespan of what is a very expensive laptop. This is disconcerting for any future ipotential ssues and plenty of unresolved ones I’ve spent days trying to manage with this unit.

In any case, thank you for the community’s help.
