What is the make and model of this laptop? I am asking mainly because 
viewing the temperatures of both the CPU(s) and GPU(s) [if you have 
GPU(s)] would be really helpful right now. Also what OS and version is 
it running?

That doesn't sound good, but depending on a number of things might be 
normal. There are power settings that can change clock speeds of the CPU 
and GPU automatically. And lower power modes lower or under clock them. 
And when they are running under clocked, they can run cool enough that 
the fan never kicks in. And that could explain what is happening. That 
is why using utilities to monitor the temperatures (and clock speeds) 
would tell you if it is or isn't.
