led sign, fails to be on

Hello everyone , I have in front of a LED sign which is powered by a linear power supply, transformer + diode bridge and capacitor The measurements I made hot are: 230v AC transformer input diode bridge input, ranges from 20 - 27 volts AC. diode bridge output, ranges from 22 - 36 volts DC capacitor of These measurements are loaded and the oscillations are quite fast and I relate them to the LEDs changing state very quickly and many flashes. The rest of the circuit consists of: a voltage regulator at 5v DC, (does not have any reference registered) but regulates at 5v stable and are to power the processor (without reference) that controls all state changes Through two ULM2803 that give way to the voltage, the diode tip output (before passing through the capacitor that acts as a filter) and feeds the LED strips Well this is the summary of the circuit. when I got to my hands I had a short ulm and several cracked welds, I changed and solved all the welds I saw cracked and overheated, and it works fine but ..... when it has been on for a long time, the LEDs go out. If I have it on without closing the structure where it is mounted, it never goes out and works well even if the transformer gets very hot and the diode bridge too. but everything mounted in its box goes out, sometimes it only takes a while, sometimes it takes an hour or more, the problem I have is that I cannot measure hot where the power is cut off, since in what I open it and remove the led strip to access the card it already works again, what do you advise me ?? Where do you think the problem may be? So many voltage oscillations are normal in this type of source? Thank you and I hope your wise advice.

If I understood correctly, the power supply has 36 volts and by means of a linear regulator it stabilizes at 5 volts output.
Ufffff Small amount of energy converted into heat.
Upload photo of the circuit to see it.

Now I don't have the circuit in front, tomorrow I take the picture,
yes, the 36 volts are not stable, they vary between about 22 - 36 v dc, and with a lm7805 type voltage regulator (no inscription) Low to stable 5v to power the processor
.with the 22 - 36v dc, the led strips are also powered

Hi. Have you measured the current at the source? It may be higher than the transformer and is being demanded. Do you suspect that it may be a design flaw? In that case maybe solutions by placing a cooler that takes out the heat. Regards

Already solved,
Let me tell you,
With the open structure where it is mounted and having it on, I gave it hot air with a hair dryer at a safe distance, hehe,
After a while I failed and I could see where the fault was, it was a weld detached from the track, in an invaluable cold pole with the microscope, (mine is not very good, rather bad, hehe).
Solve and go,
To avoid future problems I have mounted cooler with a card to adapt the voltage to the 12v that works.
At the moment almost two days running smoothly.
A greeting and thanks to all
