[quote=QuackOutLoud]Random question, but when is your laptop considered overheating?

My laptop is an HP Pavilion dv6t-6100 and it gets warm near the fan whenever I start Maple and play for like fifteen minutes.
Sometimes my fan gets super loud when it uses too much CPU, is that when it overheats?[/quote]
The conditions you described are just normal warming from using the CPU.

"Overheating" is when the components are in danger of being damaged from too much heat.
Usually what happens is there are sensors that detect the high temperature and either reduce the CPU speed or shut the computer down completely to prevent damage.

If your computer actually turns off while playing games, THAT'S usually overheating.

I have no idea how running Maplestory caused your fan to melt.

It's not hardware-intensive at all.

Even if you run it all night.
