Hitachi 51s500 Shuts Off Every 15 - 20 Mins.

The television is approximately 5 years old and turns itself off every 15-20 mins.  When you turn it back on, it plays another 15-20 mins.  Tried plugging it into different outlets and it does the same thing.  Also, we checked to make sure that no sleep timer was turned on by accident.  Otherwise the TV is terrific.

It could be a simple issue with a fan and the television shutting itself off to avoid overheating, but it also could be a power supply issue.
