angelabanks05,

If the receiver is overheating, make sure it is in an area that has good circulation. Once the receiver cools down to a certain temperature it will power back on. You can also try raising the receiver just a bit off the surface to allow better air flow.

If the problem is continuous, or happens again, let me know! The receiver may need to be replaced.
