Hyperthermia raises your body core temperature. The difference between this and a fever is that a fever is caused by infection or disease, while hyperthermia is primarily caused by the environment.
Hyperthermia heats up the body therefore causing chemical particles to move faster (kinetic particle theory) which may speed up chemical reactions affecting the whole body's biochemistry.
