It’s also possible that this is hardware-related — is the CPU temperature getting so high that a thermal overload occurs?

But I've now encountered  trouble while trying to run a copy of the make_o_ne_wd test suite.  I've tried running it 3 times and in every single one of them when the model reaches the inlist_c_burning  my computer fully freezes (to the point it has to be unplugged to be shut down).
