Sounds like you have a shitty dell that doesn’t have a fan directly on the heatsink of the processor. It would be a good idea at this point to go and get a new heatsink/fan combo for it. And put some thermal paste on it as well.
As for why - the bios monitors them temp of the processor and shuts down if it gets too hot.

why use fans when they use much more efficient heat pipes.
