[Elecraft] K3 - ERR 12V???

I was running WPX RTTY contest using abt 80W and it had ran for over an hour
with no problems.  I have done it many times and the PA temp stayed around
50....  All of the sudden I received the ERR 12V.  I was watching the PA
temp and it was staying around 45 to 49C.  The rig was running 3 bars on
ALC, so was not overdriving the PA. Output was abt 80W.

I went into the Config menu and turned the PA off and then back on and it
still does not show up in the display menu to monitor PA temp.  I have power
cycled the rig and power supply a number of times and no luck??? 

Any Suggestions?  All I can get out of it is 12 W now and the PA is cool. 
Cold air out of the back of the rig.  The Voltage from the power supply is
13.9V and I have a solid connection to the PS.  I cannot even get it to
display the PA temp at all now even when I go into the Config menu and make
sure it is turned on.  PA is set to NOR in Config menu.

Thanks
