    You might be running it with speaker's with a low Impedence like 4 ohms.
    You could not be properly venting the unit...heat kills.
    It could just be on it's way out,electroincs don't last forever.

    You could have given it a dust fur coat...meraning it's clogged with dust.

    Many many things my man..take it to your local repair shop if you want to keep it.
    Or better yeat put it to the curb and look into a newer unit.

    My personal quest is to save to world of bad audio, one thread at a time.
