Insufficient cooling. Try this simple test - take the heatsink and fan off the processor in your desktop machine, and do something processor-intensive. Let us know how long before your computer shuts down :) Network equipment generates a lot of heat, and if the heat can't be dissipated in to the room, said equipment will generally malfunction or its lifetime will be reduced. There's a reason why Cat6500s have industrial-sized fans!
