I've had my cam quit sometimes whilst cooling to set point at 100% power, seems to only happen if I try to get guiding going and do test main cam imaging all at the same time. No problem if I wait till it reaches set temp 1st ( a matter of mins). It's got me stuffed why ppl try to use regular PCs in the OBS now adays. Mini fanless PCs are dirt cheap, have more USB ports (some have actuall RS232 sockets built in) are immune to dust, are low power (10 watt wall socket plug pack) much more robust (eg temp) and are much more suited to an industrial environment like an OBs) OK, they are a bit slower and don't have screaming 3d graphics cards, but who cares, don't matter a rats in an OBs
