I discovered that multithreading on DOS might not be a problem - I probably said this once before - the BIOS may have FAN upper and lower temperature limits and speed settings for those. this with the right cooler could solve the problem of burnt cpu (going at or beyond tCASE for too long).

usually the motherboard shuts down the PC when this happens, at least in the case of a laptop. but if the laptop cooler fan is plugged with junk (cat hair?), it would just overheat and stop within 30sec of powerup. hp's compaq laptops seem to be the easiest to open and clean out.
