Q: wifi switches off: temperature problem?

Hellom

my macbookpro 17" 2.5 GHz core 2 duo has the following wifi problem:

some 5 to 10 minutes after switching the machine on, WIFI switches off. WIFI icon in the top left still shows active but in wifi preferences it is of and cannot be switched on.

the bottom of my MBP also gets quite warm.

I don't know if that is related.

I recently switch from maverics to yosemty, but the problem with wifi stayed.

anyone can help?

thanks in advance.

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), 2.5GHz, 2 core duo
