How to disable "overheat" protection?

Hello,

I currently have a very bad PC that keeps overheating (no dust, I've cleaned it thoroughly from the inside). I would like to disable the overheating protection, as this PC is useless to me now and is completely unusable (Google Chrome struggles to launch).
I have already looked in the BIOS to see if there is an option in the "Security" category, but absolutely nothing.

I hope someone can help me
PS: I am aware of the dangers this may pose to the device, but I don't care. This computer being relatively old (2010), I don't care about it, and I don't think anyone can use it without spending 15 minutes on another computer thinking "this one won't get me anywhere."
Have a good day, OmeGaFire_

    Hi, I think we just need to replace the thermal paste between the heatsink and the processor and check that all the case fans are working properly. Optionally, consider going for a more efficient heatsink.

      No need to get seriously upset, he probably knows nothing about computers, seriously he doesn't know that if he disables that he's going to blow up his PC. If it's to respond like that meanly, it's better to let others answer for you.

      Yeah, I know what I'm talking about, it's just that I'm in college for computer science, and I'd like to take the test at least once since I'm really curious ^^

      I don't know if it's possible, but afterwards it's the same risk.

      I think we can force the probe to give a certain value, but how? I don't know xD

      In some bios, you can choose the alert temperature and even disable it. But I've more often seen this on desktops

      Often the option is nonexistent on laptops.

      If you want to know what it does: the screen turns pitch black, and that's it. When you turn it back on, you see that there is power, but nothing happens...
