I hope you are being careful with the cooldown and also the
warm up methods.
Once you turn off the peltier the CCD could experience a very
quick dump of heat from the hot side of the pelt and suffer thermal
shock. You can kill a CCD this way (CMOS in your case).
You certainly have bigger balls than me mate.
I only modded webcams and when I killed one of those it was like a
death in the family!
