Overheating Shutting down issues

Im mining with nicehash, something which happens to me is when i open games, even low weight ones if i dont set min framerate it overheats and shuts down. (Using AMD vaio laptop with integrated Radeon, works at least for low graphic requiring games similar to WoW, not capable to run higher ones like EVE/BF) Same happens with Nicehashminer, but here's no framespersecond measurement

I know that mining BTC with CPU/Single not even dedicated GPU is stupid but i just wanted to try and succeed getting started the nicehash mining software.

1 So you're telling me that mining software forces the processing units whatever they are? I know this is useless but i want to get familiarized with it and to succeed leaving running the nicehash miner allover the night in the meanwhile I sleep...
2 Will i have to be changing the pools manually and to stay awake or does miner has an "AFK" option?
3 Isnt the overheating shutdown measure a security door not to burn my laptop? No matter what I do if I continue to mining even if I succeed at leaving miner working for 8 hours this will burn my laptop anyways?
4 Isnt there a way to leave the miner software running and set the intensity to lower no matter if the math operations run slow?

So ive searched in forum and inernet and they say to reduce intensity/performance to 30% aprox.
But in the settings I find different values that could be the intensity, but could also not be. So before I created a new topic i searched at forum and found nothing this is why i ask:

switch minimum AMD was 90. is this the one to reduce?
switch minimun fixed was90 also.

"Fixed mine of minimal time in seconds before miner switches algorythm" message info says at ? icon, so i guess it is not the efficiency/performance values since it is related to the intervals of time the miner switches algorythms? If i understood well?

minimal idle, minimal restart delay, minimum dynamic, api bind port pool start, switch profitability threshold, ethminer default block height, miner api query interval (is at 5 but doesnt explain 5 what...) are another values that i dont seem to understand. Miner info ? icons briefly explain this, but can anyone link me to a guide for better understanding and wider explaining about this please?

Thank you in advance
