When a component overheats the system shuts down not restart.

Go to the system advance settings and disable the automatic restart on system failure to see what's causing the problem.

Check your board for any blown out or convex caps.

Incorrect, Some computers simply keep on restarting.

Given the facts the OP system restart at random times, what brings you the firm conclusion that the system is overheating?
Got any prove to back up your claims?

It could be a possibility the OP system is not overheating and one of its components is having a malfunction which is causing the restart.

Since restarting when there's an overheated component in the PC is the default. I bet its heat problem too, can be malfunction, of course.

And what proof do you have that one of the components has malfunctioned?
It restarts at random times because you can usually go on for a bit then it'll randomly restart.
I experienced the exact same problem and it was due to my fan not working.

then you managed to crash before actually triggering the thermal "oh shit" barrier.

overheating will shut your shit down and keep it off, any other way doesn't even make sense.

I didn't exactly crash, It simply kept on restarting and it happened several times (When ever I was on for 5 minutes or more).
Also seeing as the restarts started when my fan stopped working I doubt it was coincidence.

Right click "My Computer".
Click "Properties"
Click on Advanced tab and press settings under “Startup and Recovery”
If the automatically restart option is checked then it'll restart instead of shutting off.

If you have a parent who watches you on the comp or shares one with you they might have put a time limit on it which makes the computer shut down when logged on that specific user.

Impossible.. My parents don't know shit about my computer, so is my brother and sister.
Plus, it restarts at random times, I've checked Autoruns + Process Explorer, no such "time limit program" exists.

this is for a BSOD

trip the thermal warning and power gets cut, there's nothing more to it.

Straight from intel, don't know what the AMD flag is called off the top of my head, might be different.

Code:

5.2.5 THERMTRIP# Signal
Regardless of whether or not Thermal Monitor or Thermal Monitor 2 is enabled, in the
event of a catastrophic cooling failure, the processor will automatically shut down when
the silicon has reached an elevated temperature

It happens to me too, the reason why it does that is because it got too much stuff on it. This is probably not the same reason for you, but that might possibly help you.

Well putting aside what you quoted,
I still experienced the exact same problem as this guy when my fan stopped working.

A side question: can those signals be controlled via the operating system and if yes - how?
