Yea sounds like you could have a few things happening.  Anything with electricity....warm=ok hot= never good!  I would address that sooner rather than later.

Well, I am using a wifi, so connection could also be the issue. 

I'm running off a shared internet connection, firstly connecting the wifi with my pc, then rebroadcasting it to the antminer using a second wifi card to ensure a strong signal (i tried to share the internet connection from my pc to antminer via Ethernet with no success) . The setup is not ideal I know, but it's all I've got at the moment. I wouldn't be surprised if this connect could be causing some issues.

but this hot cable is starting to worry me. I know when you draw too much power through wire it begins to get hot. So I still feel that this problem could be more to do with the antminer being underpowered? 

I want to know if I am able to run a second wire from the psu to the second card on antminer. I have extra cables that came with my psu but to wire it up it would probably mean chopping up and rewiring the cables, I don't have any extra pci cables.

Whoa...I think something may be up with your PSU.  Running for 1d your avg. of 118g is way below what it should be.

Could you be losing your connection to the pool?

I have an antminer s1 running with a corsair cx600 psu.

Both pci ports on the antminer have been connected to the psu using the same wire.  This wire came with the psu, it's quite a thin ribbon cable and gets slightly hot when mining.  Could this be the reason I have such high hardware errors?  Or do I have a dodgy antminer?

I have included a screenshot of the antminer status and ghash.io payouts below.
