This might be my last ONKYO receiver because this is not accepatable. I was playing KZ2 and decided to turn up the volume for the 7.1, and BAM....it shut off. I was warned about heat issues with the ONKYOs now this is starting to get on my nerves. Any suggestions?

All new receivers run hot because they always remain in a "ready" state, meaning they're always on (unless you actually unplug them from the wall each time you turn them off).
I have an Onkyo 705, which also runs warm, but even with 7.1 speakers connected to it and all running very loudly, I've never had it get hot enough to turn itself off. However, if it did turn itself off, that's good because it's what it's programmed to do if it's overheating. Better that than burn out the innards.
It is possible the fan in your unit has stopped working (although I've never even heard the fan in my unit ever turn on). Or as suggested above, you might want to change the Ohm setting in receiver's menu. Or, more than possible, you're not giving the unit enough ventilation. You should give it a good three-to-five inches above and a foot or more on the sides and back to let the warm air escape it.

P.S. And the fans run very quite.

However, it has relatively good space above it and I have removed the back panel of the cabinet.
Hope your unit will keep running.
