That overcooking does not cause any hardware damage. Heat simply narrows the switching thresholds. Eventually gets a wrong software instruction to be executed. Heat only causes instability. Does not cause damage.

You can locate this problem quickly - long before it causes failure. Simply operate the computer in a 100 degree F (38 degree C) room. That is ideal perfect temperature for all computer hardware. And will quickly identify insufficient switching thresholds or defective hardware (that will probably fail years later). Heat (a 100 degree F room) is one of the best diagnostic tools available to every computer user.
