When a laptop reaches a CPU specific temperature threshold it will cause rapid and immediate shutdown to avoid physically damaging the machine. Older laptops sometimes have issues because the cooling paths are not 100% effective and can lead to overheating, so you may be OK with disabling thermald if you laptop has good thermal dissipation.
