It wasn't useful for the original submitter, because their EC
shuts down the system, but possibly your box is different...
You can use the kernel cmdline "thermal.nocrt=1"
or the module parameter "options thermal nocrt=1"
and that will disable the action taken when the
critical trip point fires.

When it fires, you can then monitor the temperature --
eg. see if it stays high, or spike goes away etc.

It seems that the EC on this box is basically going out to lunch.
If we have Linux ignore the bogus temperature reading, the EC
takes matters into its own hands and shuts off the system.

One possible approach would be to neuter the ACPI EC driver
altogether so that it doesn't load.  For it may be interaction
with the Linux EC driver that is confusing the motherboard EC.
