Latest cgminer causing overheating

My Gekkoscience Newpac USB miner is giving me an error like "GSH 0 failure".
This has only happened since I updated to the latest cgminer source code from github.
I was told by a pool owner Kano insisted that I need to upgrade to this new code if I want to continue mining using his pool.
Keep in mind I'm not overclocking. In fact, because the room temperature is 80 F I'm actually underclocking.
I was initially underclocking to 50 MHz, which caused frequent errors and "zombie" status.
That's weird because the latest cgminer is promoted as fixing zombie status.
Then I tried underclocking to 80 MHz, which is more stable. But I still get the occasional overheating without zombie status.
Can someone let me know how to fix this?
