AV receiver froze (locked) up

This is a new one for me, went on a service call earlier and arrived to find the client's new Yamaha RX-V563 receiver was just completly locked up. I have owned Denon, Yamaha, and Onkyo receivers, all in the $600 - $1000 price range and have never had one freeze up to the point where it would not respond to pressing any of the front panel buttons.

Can this happen from overheating?

BTW, once I un-plugged it and waited about 10 minutes before plugging it back in, it was fine....
