I was wondering if this could be caused by heat, as I have no air conditioning and it's around 85 degrees in here on a normal day. I don't want to pay for chip testing and such if this is the problem, because I can easily install an air conditioner (I'm starting to bake a little myself). Thanks in advance. ---C.J.
