Pinball Guy Needs "Die Hard Arcade Machine" help (Blue Monitor Screen)

When i turn on my Die Hard machine it works and plays great... for about 20minutes.

After which the screen just goes ALL BLUE!

You can still here all the sounds effects and gameplay in the background so whats the deal??

Do i just need to reseat some cables? Looks at some fuses?

Why does it only happen 20 - 30 minutes after turning it on?? Shouldn't it get better as it "warms up" and not worse??

I'm a pinball guy @ heart and this will be my first time troubleshooting a cab. Thanks KLOV'ers!!!!

Post a pic. You may have an internal short in the tube that cause the blue gun to short after it heats up for a while. Or possible a problem on the chassis (or even game board) that happens after heating up for a while....
 
BTW - to verify a HEAT or TUBE issue, once it goes blue, turn it off then right back on and see how long it takes to turn blue again. If it's the same 20-30 minutes, it probably isn't heat or tube...
 
When i turn it right back on it is still blue... but yet again you can still hear the game in the background (like if i push start button)
