Mysteriously exploding spacecraft.

[JMS1959]

I've not played KSP for a few months, so a few days ago I restarted Science mode from scratch. I've been going to the Mun a few times now to gain more science points, but have experienced some odd occurrences :-

When orbiting the Mun, the craft has sometimes exploded for no apparent reason, even though it was several thousand Km above the surface.

When returning to Kerbin, the craft has exploded due to overheating even though it was well above the atmosphere (no glowing flames or etc).

After exploding above Kerbin and pressing F9 to return to an quicksaved place, it returned me to Mun orbit (as I'd expected), but the craft immediately exploded due to overheating....

Any ideas?

are you running 1.05 current version?

This everything is cooking upon reload of a save was very common to me around 1.03 and early 1.04

Yes, there were a few overheat bugs in 1.0.4. Updating to 1.0.5.1028 should help out with the overheating.
