Hello. I have an Xbox 360 which freezes less than an hour or two when I use it. What could be the cause? Thanks!
Well before, when I open it up and it hangs it only does for a few cycles(power up, few minutes pass, hangs, repeat) then it doesn't hang anymore, like it's revving up or something, but now it consistently hangs. Might a change of thermal paste help? Maybe it already ran out of that?Over heating maybe? Make sure its well ventilated
House is really dusty.Overheating isn't a bad guess.
Is your house clean i.e. not dusty?
Is your console well ventilated?
Did you do any mods to it? (flashed drive/RGH/Xkey)
How old is it?
Does it blow hot or cold air from the side?
Yep, I've used it quite a lot and I bet the person who used it before me did too. Well I considered the HDD too but I use the same HDD for the PS3 and it never hangs up on me when I use it on that console.Could be. Also how old is it? Has it had quite a lot of use? Could be the hdd packing up
Oh yeah, RGH I guess.It's not JTAG but RGH.
Anyway it seems like a wiring issue.
The PLL_Bypass or CPU_RST wire is likely to close to a MOSFET or any other thing that generates electrical interference.
It could also be that the soldering is a bit shoddy and the chip isn't working properly.
Other thing could be the wire length, but that's mainly the cause of inconsistent booting (long boottimes)
Wire of?If you're experiencing boot trouble (long time to boot etc) cutting a cm off the wire each time could help solve it.
As for the freezing in game, it's likely one of the wires to close to a MOSFET.
If you don't know how to solder n what not, I suggest you take it to a modshop.
I'm pretty sure they won't mind fixing it up for a tenner orso.
