The problem I described is simply not that what I expect due to a hardware malfunction. I already checked all connectors, memory - nothing! There is nothing that seems to be different from a few days ago. Overheating is not on the list of possibilities - due to changing weather conditions its really "cold" herein (about 20 degrees Celsius).
