That should never happen. First, the machine should have enough radiator surface and airflow to avoid overheating even at full cpu for hours. Secondly, in case of over temperature, the cpu should slow down the clock sufficiently and smartly. Slow down the clock, even insert dummy "noops" instructions, to give the cpu time to shed heat without having to shut down. This the CPU can do by itself, or the kernel can do it. My small mini-pc which I use for multimedia and server does this trick. I noticed when watching some movies that the player would skip frames when hot: the clock had slowed down and the player could then not cope. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
