35C (95F) isn't excessively hot for electronics. What's the humidity? That might be more difficult to manage, and also more problematic.
If humidity has been high together with heat, try putting the XITE in a dry place for a day, maybe in a box with a 500ml of dried rice to absorb humidity or condensation that is causing the problems.
Of course, keep the rice OUT of the XITE.
Don't worry about any permanent damage yet. Electronics are pretty tough these days.

Maybe there is a problem in the airflow. The rack is quite packed and only above the Xite there is a vent grid.
Reading your 1st post here ...
Is the XITE´s PCIe card sitting correctly in your computer´s PCIe slot ?
Is the HDMI cable perfectly connected to ythe XITE and the PCIe card ?
I got all that warning messages too and it was the card´s and/or HDMI cable´s connection.
I always operated XITE-1 in a rack and took care having 1HU spacers/vent-grids above AND below the XITE-1.
Half-rack units mounted below XITE-1 leave enough space too,- my Nuendo Timelock Pro synchronizer does since it´s smaller than half-rack behind it´s full width 19" frontpanel !
Never had any temperature related issues then.
Depending on your location you might think about active ventilation of your rack too.
Adds some noise though ...

yes, that's what those messages are. the HDMI cable is always the first suspect.
the reason i suggested the power setting, is because it seems to happen after a set period of time. that might indicate a power setting.

if all of that doesn't work then I might recommend trying a new power supply. A generic replacement with the same specs is not expensive. Can't remember what the symptoms were for mine as it was a few years ago but it cleared up my problems quickly.

Yes try a new power supply. One of the best ideas! I agree with you
