Most IC's are good to 85 degrees C.  Way hotter than your Laptop would get, 
even in a hot room, on a lap, running a long time with lots of computational 
stuff.

What drifts are the timing numbers.... the nanosecond stuff that allow A 
Chip to talk to B Chip.  If designed too close to tolerance, stuff does not 
communicate properly, and you get funny results.

Like talking to your SO on a really hot day.....

So wait it out, use whisky and ice ( whisky for you, ice for the computer) 
and see what happens.
