Try and install the mbmon port, and see if it works on your machine. If so, start a cron job that appends mbmon output to a file say every 15 minutes. If it's a heat buildup issue in a monitored component, it would show. I wonder though. My machine usually doesn't need a day to heat up after a cold start. An hour or so usually suffices. Other causes could be a spike in the line voltage due to a large device switching on or off nearby. Or an underrated power supply overloaded through a cron job.
