A regular desktop is designed to run 24/7 with downtime for patching. The constant expansion and contraction of metal from heat and cooling is what causes parts failure - not heat itself. Otherwise, you'd have way way more server failures that run 24/7/365.

You already verify that it's not the monitor by switching to another monitor.
It is highly unlikely that it's the DVI cable.
By the way, keeping a computer running 24/7 is not good for it, even in sleep and hibernation modes. A regular desktop is designed to run 8 hours a day. Heat is what degrades electronic components over time.
