As to the statement that faulty software could cause it, perhaps, but it would be a real fluke, because as I said lots of things get in the way in a real normal system. Such a software bug would have to disable lots of hardware besides the processor to create that kind of havoc.
I'd say it's more likely that bad software might expose a flaw in a system, such as cooling that was never going to work adequately when the CPU was running at full steam, than it actually be able to cook it.
It's probably a fair bet that there's a lot of CPU coolers that are just inadequate.
