Fever can be fatal because when it reaches a certain temperature, the body's enzymes, which are responsible for chemical reactions are distroyed. Without chemical reactions, we will die.

What will high temperature will do to cell functions and cell parts?
High temperatures denature enzymes (change there shape so they cannot catalyse reactions). They will also alter the proteins in the cell membranes so that the membranes are more fluid (and normally more permeable). Particularly high temperatures will just break down all the cell parts causing lysis of the cell and it to die.
