Is it running Windows? I've found that on Linux this specific issue doesn't happen, it will turn off the fans, and they will stay off. But the battery is still drained, even though, on average, I tend to get better battery life than with Windows on the same machine.

But Windows tends to wake it up randomly and do God knows what, since the PC will actually be hot to the touch.

Bonus points for attempting to install updates, then reboot, only to end up stuck waiting for the BitLocker PIN.
