I'm no expert, but it could be a problem with the 3D Unity graphics or the
open source Radeon graphics you have to use with 3D Unity.

Actually, leaving the side panel off can cause overheating, since it
changes the airflow patterns and the important bits might no longer get the
cool air they need.

Hopefully you've seen how to get the log info you need now from the tips in
this thread.
