Hummmm.... Something like that happened to me years ago... Let me think.
Oh, right.....

It is a well-known fact that faulty software can overheat CPUs.
You might investigate the GIMPS which has a test program intended
specifically to ascertain whether it can run on a machine, or
will in fact cause it to overheat. If he somehow got Linux or some
part of it into a tight loop due to a software defect, it might very
well have caused the overheating.
Don't toss this aside lightly. Give it due consideration. It is
likely not a fault of Linux, but don't just disregard this.
