Huh? cpu overheating can go to a system force restart?
Basically put, hardware failure can cause a lot of random stuff. A lot. That's why it's so hard sometimes to isolate hardware problems. And out of them, overheating is the one I have found causing some of the weirdest problems (the winner in this area is obviously RAM corruption). I had an old PC that started overheating when a Radeon 9800 PRO arrived, and it caused a lot of unusual stuff, from buggy graphics to 30 second freezes, sudden restarts... Basically a ton of unpredictable stuff.
