Usually Xray protection kicks in when it thinks tube voltage is too high, that will be because it is actually too high, the reference is wrong, or deterioration of the detection circuit.

I guess I had solder problems one on I had back in the day, went glitchy and gave it the big old whack out of frustration and it started working again.
