cRIO 9045 "overheating" status LED, ambient temperature is not likely high enough to cause this

Hello,

 

I've got a functioning code now thanks in part to many of the users here, but now I keep running into an issue where my cRIO 9045 can't seem to run longer than 10 or 15 hours before displaying a solid red status LED. This is troublesome because I need to run it 24/7.

 

The environment its in is a pretty spacious control box. Granted I don't have any fans installed, but the device should be fine up to 55°C ambient temperature based on the spec sheet, and I would certainly know if my control box were getting that warm. 

 

To me this seems like a faulty temperature measurement in the device. Or maybe the poor convection really is able to cause the local temperature to get that warm? The CPU load isn't even 10%, so it's not like my program is very demanding which makes me hesitant to accept that the device is actually overheating.

 

I'm currently speaking with NI tech support too, but I wanted to see if anyone here has run into a similar issue.

 

Thank you!
