Yes, the CPU temperature shutdown is set in the BIOS. You can set a temp where it alarms, and another temp where it shuts down.
As for 60C as CPU temp, it's a bit on the high side, but I don't know if it's necessarily enough for a machine to crash.
Usually the two temps are for system temp (the temp inside the case), and the other being CPU temp (which is measured either on CPU or a sensor right underneath the CPU). The higher is usually the CPU temperature.
Like others have said, I'd probably start first with cracking open the case and blowing all the dust out of there. Go invest in a can of compressed air and blow out as much dust as you can out of your case. Pay special attention to the heatsinks and fans and make sure you get all the dust out of there and see if that lowers your temperatures.
Does the machine crash when you just leave it on and do nothing?
