hwmonitor from cpuid.com is another tool to see temperatures.
also there should be something like firmware-initiated shutdown in system log
and with old age and battery broken it will just switch off when on battery.

or put an SSD in it - that's your best investment for a speedy laptop  -and for about 100$ you can use this one 3-4 years more
