I wondered about this. Surely if the laptop is running Windows and it 
overheats it would shut down?

I do have Windows Xp installed as well as FreeBSD. I had a quick look in 
the registry - couldn't find _CRT and CRT was too common. I also found 
some references to acpi and thermal zone but couldn't take the time to 
look properly right now (supposed to be working). I could look later if 
anybody is interested.
