As I understand you are facing overheating issues. This can be caused by a non-functioning system fan, or if the air ducts are blocked. Overheating can reduce the life of your computer, so you will want to resolve this as soon as you can. Here are a few troubleshooting documents you can use to help you.
To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:
Have you made any software or hardware changes on the PC?
Have you performed any troubleshooting steps before posting this on HP Forums?
What is the fan’s status?
Is any plastic burned?
Are any external devices connected to the laptop?
Does the laptop overheat when using a specific application?
Does the laptop restart after shutting down or does it take time until it gets cool?
In the meantime, let's try these steps here:
Perform a hard reset on the Notebook

In July 2018, I purchased an HP Pavilion 590-p0057c desktop computer from Costco for around $500. After using it for three weeks, a "Thermal Shutdown" message screen sporadically appeared, along with continuous beeps. I had no idea if this was some kind of virus or if there was a hardware issue. (I could have returned the computer to Costco, but after loading a lot of software and files on it, I was reluctant to do that.)
The first tech I took it to could not figure it out. All he did was install CC Cleaner. I then shipped the computer to HP support, who had it close to one month. All they did was replace a fan. (All the fans were working before I shipped it.) When I finally got back the computer, the Thermal Shutdown message still appeared.
I took it to a tech named Derrell, who I found on Yelp in San Diego. He spent quite a bit of time running a lot of diagnostic software and hardware tests. Derrell discovered there was too much "paste" covering the CPU; the paste was overflowing on the sides. He cleaned it up and since then, I have not gotten another Thermal Shutdown message. Derrell was the only tech to figure this out!!!
