Since your CPU had thermal protection, it's supposed to take effect before the hardware is permanently damaged, but the thermal stress might have affected it, or other components like memory or the PSU. > I've since corrected the cooling issue, but am still receiving > messages such as these on the kvm guest: > > [169245.360511] clamscan[27448] general protection ip:7f125f2e6ffb > sp:7fff117566f0 error:0 in libclamav.so.6.1.11[7f125f229000+9ce000] > > [29016.445470] clamd[1110] general protection ip:30df2c3981 > sp:7fffa08f4fe0 error:0 in libclamav.so.6.1 > .11[30df200000+9ce000] What OS? Looks to be Unix-style library names, but a Windows-style error messages?

Your hardware manufacturer should have hardware diagnostics available which will identify anything obviously wrong. But running prime95 in test mode or memtest86 for 24 hours is a decent sanity check.
