Yup, only a matter of time before that sucker starts smoking. Most likely you have a cracked solder joint which makes intermittent contact when you whack it after heating up. Once it cools down, the gap widens. Eventually this will lead to something overloading. However, if this is the only problem, and that's unlikely, it's usually an easy fix by simply re-flowing the pins on the suspect area. Get the Pina Book.
