Ah, forgot to say.
It does not crash immediately when the register is written. It takes about two seconds
to crash. And when the machine is colder to begin with, it takes slightly
longer to trigger. That _might_ support your overheating theory.

Though, it does not trigger when it's up and running, no matter how hot you drive it.

Maybe the thermal control module prevents it from overheating. Have you
tried unloading it or loading it ASAP on bootup to see if that makes any
difference either way?

I'm not sure how that works. Can I unload the framebuffer module?

I'm talking about the thermal control module (therm_adt746x in my case),
not radeonfb.
