Pixel Problems on a QHY8

I have been using a QHY8 on a windows 7 64 laptop for some time. However over the last few image sessions I am seeing lots more hot colour pixels in my images. I have shortend the lead and lowered the TEC temps as far as they will go. Tried both USB and ASCOM drivers and tried Nebulosity 2 and 3 and Easy cap with same results. I am sitting in my lounge with Only the camera attached to the laptop with some foil over the camera to block out some of the light... I have attached an image showing large amounts of pixels in the dark section of the image. Same happens if I fully black out the camera...

Any ideas would be great. I have called the dealer and he suggested some of the things above, but they have not helped...


Regards
Martin
