My educated guess would be a knackered monitor......if it's within warranty, try taking it back?

if its getting as hot as you say & its shutting itself off - get it fixed if under warranty or replaced ASAP
it could catch fire!

Treat yourself to a new one and ditch the dangerous dicky thing. Rather that than it catch fire, I've seen it done

could be the transformer they go and overheat or dry spot the board so it doesnt connect right
take to a tv reapair shop for a free estimate if its just dry spotting shouldnt cost much if its the transformer for the couler guns get a new monitor

One of mine went pop a year or so ago, basically my printer is above my pc / monitor and I had loads of sheets of paper sitting on top of my monitor - covering the air vents 
Got too hot, and I was sitting in the other room and heard a large bang / pop noise - came in, blank screen, the smell of burnt stuff and a bit of smoke coming out the top.
My monitor atm, is a bit fucked - it sometimes flickers and images go yellow and basically fucks up.
I want to get a flat one next.
