    This sounds like trying to do stuff in Excel? The computer isn’t overheating but the amount of memory needed is very high which would make it run poorly. They might interpret that as overheating?

      It also makes sense if they are on calling the entire computer “the hard drive” like grandma and the fans kicked on.

      Yeah, everyone commenting about being able to handle billions of rows easily, which obviously very true if you are worming with sql or similar.

      But this is probably some finance kid, investment banker analyst, and only knows how to use Excel.

      60,000 rows in excel with formulas, if not done efficiently, can for sure make you computer a little toasty.
