Just for fun, I decided to pull out the infrared thermometer and zap the left hand side panel of the 722 as it felt rather toasty.

If I shoot the beam into the guts of the machine, I see temps as high as 117ºF when the machine is idle.

So perhaps this one (the one that had the rolling reboot issue for most of yesterday) is overheating somehow.

(The receiver isn't enclosed in a cabinet and is open to the air on all sides and has 5" of air space above it.)

What is below it? i.e. do you have it sitting right on top of a toasty AVR? When in standby my 722's are fairly coo or luke warm to the touch at most. When running all evening they do get very warm/hot on the left side.

I had mine running on top of my AVR and it was Hot hot hot... Moved it away and all is good...

Sitting alone on a shelf - no heat generating equipment anywhere around it.

It doesn't matter whether it's running or in standby, it's about the same temperature either way.

Doesn't surprise me. Mine in a cabinet but with a laptop cooling system underneath averages 118ºF according to the counters.
