I don't think so, it had been working for more than 2 years before this
issue appeared.

20 is just a guess. I haven't seen it for pretty few days until the day
before yesterday. And it looks like CPU1 is brought up a half way. When
the fan was at full speed I tried:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
and whole system freezed. Otherwise this commands succeeds.

I'll load a crash kernel prior turning the CPU off next time.
