Check the power supply connection.  This is classic symptoms of a dry
joint on the PSU board - it gets hot and the solder joints are
weakened.  Be very careful - the capacitors in the PSU can remain
charged up to 350v for quite a long time.

Cheers,

It might also be that the powersupply needs voltage adjustment. I've 
had a machine that needed adjustment because of a sudden too low 
voltage.
