Mackie Hotwire Vt12 No Amplification After 15min Playing

I'm having this problem seems like overheating ? Turn on about 15 min the machine will mute by itself with the yellow display light off and no sound until the display light on again but for very short while it'll mute again. When this happened the blue switch light is stay on all the time only the yellow display light off with no sound since then. Would appreciate if I can get it fix for the sound is marvellous with this machine. Wold like to keep on using it until it turn vintage .
