Yes it`s got COP, Cpu Overheat Protection. Get the cover off. Check all fans
are running. Then switch off and unplug, and clean out the dust and muck.
Especially the
CPU and chipset Heatsinks.

Just go to Asus's website and look up the specs. Or look in your
motherboard manual (if you have one) or in the BIOS for those options.
This doesn't have anything to do with the operating system (Windows
XP).
