P4 System Manual: 12.14.1. Catastrophic Shutdown Detector The P6 family processors introduced a thermal diode that acts as a catastrophic shutdown detector. When the processor’s core temperature reaches a factory preset level, the thermal diode trips and processor execution is halted until after the next reset cycle. This mechanism provides catastrophic over-temperature protection for the processor. This catastrophic shutdown detector is also implemented in the Pentium 4 processor, and it is always enabled to protect the processor.
