Closing laptop lid overheats then freezes laptop

Hello,

When I close my laptop lid, the computer starts overheating, and when I open back up the lid, the computer is frozen and I’m not able to move my cursor anywhere. Anyone have ideas on what I can try to do to solve this issue?

Thanks

What action is set for when the lid gets closed?

Action on lid close is suspend.

I’m also noticing when I close the lid and open it back up, an external monitor through discrete graphics works (can move mouse around, open application overview, etc.), but only the internal display and anything through internal graphics (even an external monitor) is frozen.
