I have read this page a number of times but nothing in it seemed to
give any clues. It was very strange that the problem went away the
moment I started tcpdump up. I still don't know why running tcpdump
solved the issue as subsequent to posting this message tcpdump had no
impact the next time the issue surfaced.

Turning on additional fan's in my case has solved this problem for me.

Cheers
