First picture dialogue:

Doctor: Easy! I’ll hook myself up to the computer! She can borrow my memory space!
River: Difficult! It’ll kill you stone dead!
Doctor: Easy to criticize.
River: It’ll burn out both your hearts, and don’t think [that] you’ll regenerate!

Second picture dialogue:

Doctor: This is not a joke. Stop this now. This is gonna kill you! I’d have a chance!
River: You wouldn’t have chance and neither would I!

The Doctor and Professor River Song, Doctor Who, 4.09 “Forest of the Dead”

• This is your explanation as to why River didn’t regenerate in the Library, time lady/time child/half-human-half-time-lord or not. If she was able to regenerate, both of her hearts would have been fried (not to mention her consciousness) and she would have been unable to regenerate.

• This also explains how we knew who River was the moment we met her. She gave us a spoiler, although we didn’t know it yet.

gah i never read that much into that line!  You are so right!  She did give away that she is more than human there!  See this is what I mean when I say Moffat picks every word meticulously!  This is why I pick through transcripts of River episodes!  I should get back to that…
