Amp shut off and came back again.

I was cranking up the volume and suddenly my amp briefly shut off and resumed again. It took less than a second.
Does it mean my amp is going to die soon?
Thx

I was listening in class A mode with much bigger than normal level, and the amp got hot. lt has just about 2” from the top. Probably I need a taller rack. Thanks again.

My amp (Plinius SA 102) seems to get hot easily when operating in class A and pushed hard. It might need more breathing room too.

Class A makes it generate lots of heat. I'll get another rack or let the amp stands as its own, or maybe use a small fan.
