A computer is perfectly capable recognizing symptoms of overheating. If a component does overheat, it will shut off and likely cause a BSOD. The Blue Screen was specifically implemented to prevent physical damage to the machine.

As for the original question, I think your best bet is measuring packet loss. Anything above 0.0% is already a cause for concern. Up to 1% packet loss is still acceptable. Anything higher than 3% is outright bad.
