To add further credibility to the dodgy software theory though, what
hardware/firmware protection mechanisms do you know of that upon
detecting high CPU temperature dump the user back to a login screen?
Returning to the login screen could be either a reboot or killing X,
neither of which a sane BIOS would do in a CPU overheat event. Every
BIOS I've ever seen shuts the machine down, which makes more sense if
it's overheating.
It's more likely that the BIOS isn't able to slow the CPU sufficiently,
and X or the desktop session segfaulted. Random shit tends to happen
when CPUs get too hot, most of it causing applications to crash.
