Sounds about right. High humidity and heat combined can do that yes. Try leaving it for a couple of days in a Air Conditioned room, and see if that helps. However if the damage has already been done, then you'll have to do what I have just had to do after suffering a major system crash a few days ago. It's terrible, so I hope you've backed your important stuff up to a separate drive or disks.

I don't know any 'good' PC shops here other than ones on Najma st, down from Mall roundabout, and go across c ring. That road has DIY kind of shops and some pc shops. Another location is the same road as Doha Clinic. And then there is Sofitel area in the heart of old Doha.

Never been to any myself so I can't help you much there.

Good luck. :)
