What that means to me is that the makers of Calibre fail to protect against certain conditions that these other programs do.

So, contrary to this being perceived as a "personal problem" (hardware), I consider this a software bug.
That it may, but the bug would be in one of the many building blocks that Calibre is built upon.
FWIW most of my OLD computers have a Over temp CPU throttle(down) that kicks in if things get too warm.
