You would of think thats common sense but my ex girlfriend fried her dell because she left it on her bed and fell asleep. (the laptop ended up under the covers...) She came up to me and ask me to fix it. I took out the HDD and ram. Then I threw the laptop in the garbage and told her you need to buy a new one. She didn't like my answer

Don't they auto-shutoff at some point?
As an experiment to make my noisy macbook quieter, I disconnected/removed the fan.
Needless to say, that was really stupid. Processor hit 110c and it auto shut off.

WHY!!!??? Why would anyone do that?

Don't know why you're all so worked up. I'm still using a 5 y/o C2D T7200 with a Geforce Go 7300, I don't remember the last time it hasn't run at close to full tilt or the last time it's bluescreened. It gets up to 90-95C on load. Granted the battery's dead (I'd be surprised if it wasn't) but it's still chugging along very well. Been physically cleaned out multiple times too.
Actually about that, clean out your laptops people. At least clear the vents of dust and if you're able to, open up any covers and clean out the intake fans near the CPU/GPU and maybe reseat them with some new thermal paste. If you'll void your warranty doing so then don't, if you don't have warranty go ahead. :P

OK, melt was the wrong word to use, but my point still stands. You run a working proc at that kind of temp and it will stop working. Pop, fry, burn, melt does not describe what happens, but they all mean the cpu is dead.

It made the machine very quiet for when I was gaming and doing work. No sound at all!

At the very least, put a giant aluminum heat sink on it... or look at what the Macbook Air does.
