That's possible. Heat can make hardware act up.

Good theory, as it happens "after a few hours." Is there a way to leave the "cover" off and see if that helps? Then you'd still need a permanent solution of course. I made my own "vent" in the back of a rolltop desk, but on the computer enclosure itself, I don't know.
