I still think something is going bad on the card and the heat is making the
problem worse. I would still take the card out and clean both sides of the edge
connector on the card with a pencil erasor. I would also inspect both sides of
the card while it is out for any kind of damage such as leaking components etc.

Pencil eraser? I have never heard that one before. Wouldn't the
eraser nub leave some residue on the contacts?

Although that's not the craziest I've heard... Way back in my Amiga
days, I had a problem with a sidecar HD on my A500... tech support
actually told me to take out the control card, and wash it in warm water
mixed with powder laundry detergent, blow-dry thouroughly, let sit for
an hour, and then plug it back in...

Amazingly enough, it solved my problem!
