laptop remains on after closing lid

Hello, I have been experiencing an issue on sporadic occasions. Having worked on my laptop, I close the lid and expect it to suspend. An hour later I open the lid, I see that it is on (not suspended) and am shown a black screen and the laptop is smoking hot (really hot). I hard shutdown turns the system off (havent tried any other way to get the system working because the temperature is so high I get scared, I dont really remember if the fans were on at this point, although I believe they are not because the temperature is really high). This has happened a few times, but is not happening always. How can I test suspend action when laptop lid is closed? How can I test the laptop lid close sensor is working? What can I do if this happens again? Is there a way to log temperatures to make sure the system is shutting down when high temperatures are reached? System: Fedora WS 34 on Dell XPS 15 with 4K touchscreen (this screen is heavy and I believe could generate a lot of heat too if it is left on). thank you,
