That would be too easy and machines would be dying left and right of
overheating. Actually, sane hardware is much more robust than that and
it throttles itself in case of critical temperature levels. And, IMHO
your Dell Latitude D520 should be fine, in that respect. But we'll see.

Yeah, that's still ok if we trust the output saying that 126°C is the
critical temp.

It would be interesting to see what this sensor says right before the
machine locks up.

HTH.
