I had a similar problem with my old 900. Except it wouldn't even turn over when hot. Just dead.
I took apart the center console around the key switch and got a schematic, and started driving around with a multimeter. When it happened, I started checking and found a short (to ground) in a wire from the ignition switch to the starter motor that was only present when the engine was hot. When the engine was cold, I measured no short.
Couldn't trace the wire for the life of me so I simply ran a new one (proper gauge of course). It wasn't hard to find a path up and over through the firewall (passenger side) then to the starter. Crimped on some connectors and was good to go. It never gave me another problem.
May or not be your issue, but there's my story.
