my pc shuts down when cpu temp exceeds 60 C.
since 'hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._CRT' is read only, I can't reset
the value there.
The advice below, edit & recompile a dumped ASL, doesn't work for
me because the ASL will not compile.
Do I have any alternative other than completely disabling acpi?

I found a discussion of this online where Nate Lawson said this advice
was correct:

So I did as suggested, dumped th asl and looked for the _CRT method;
(the full .asl file is attached). Here's what I found:
Method (_CRT, 0, NotSerialized)
{
Return (TRPC)
}
the only reference I found to TRPC was:
DefinitionBlock ("DSDT.aml", "DSDT", 1, "KT400 ", "AWRDACPI", 4096)
{
...
OperationRegion (TEMM, SystemMemory, 0x000FF810, 0x0C)
Field (TEMM, WordAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
{
TP1H, 16,
TP1L, 16,
TP2H, 16,
TP2L, 16,
TRPC, 16,
SENF, 16
}
...
}
so I figured I'd just hard code a corrected temperature into the
_CRT method, recompile the asl and override (per the handbook).
Before modifying the .asl, I decided to compile the dumped .asl so
I'd know what the 'normal' warnings were. Sadly, the compiler
dumped a pile of errors:

per your note, warnings might be ok but errors are going to
make things barf. I'm not attaching the full ASL file due to
its size, but I'll be happy to mail it to anyone interested.
I previously sent it to Nate.
Now what?
