   In some cases, the CPU will shut itself off once passing a thermal limit to avoid permanent damage. But they can also be caused by bus errors introduced by other failing components, like memory or I/O devices. Possible causes include: Poor CPU cooling due to a CPU heatsink and case fans (or filters) that's clogged with dust or has come loose.

9. Thrashing (computer science) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrashing_(computer_science)

   Thrashing is when the CPU performs 'productive' work less and 'swapping' work more. The overall memory access time may increase since the higher level memory is only as fast as the next lower level in the memory hierarchy. [2] The CPU is busy swapping pages so much that it cannot respond to users' programs and interrupts as much as required.
