When you've got it powered up again, you should try adjusting the
trimpot. You should be able to find a spot that gives you a frequency
minimum, assuming this is an AT crystal. This will minimize sensitivity
to temperature change. There's a slim chance that a shift in the
temperature set point could be at the core of your problem, but it would
be a rather extreme case.
