Hello,
as object I would like to install the msdos but with the fear that there
may be overheating. I did some virtual tests on another pc and actually
cpu goes hot during its use. Now the question is: on a cpu as object, if
I install the dos (not in virtual) could be affected? I'm not able to
find a cpu monitor for dos to check it.
Excuse for bad english.
Thank you.

small loop at full speed.
There are various 3rd party add-ons that you can use, like DOS-Idle, to
add this functionality to DOS.
I've used DOS-Idle.exe and it's NetWare counterpart dos-idle.nlm with
great success.
I think that you will find this eliminates what you're concerned about.

Is it something you have built up?
Do you use plenty of heat sink paste?
Does the cpu have a heat sink and fan on it?
No heat sink, heat paste and fan and it will die very quickly.

FWIW, I've used FreeDOS "fdapm apmdos" command to the same effect.

calls and run their own busy loops instead, which may or may not
use HLT.
