RGH Problem with Falcon - gltiches fine but freezes later

[brouski]

I have a Coolrunner installed on a 14699 Falcon that I've got glitching really nicely. My problem is that I can't keep it running for more than 10 minutes. It freezes in stock dash, FSD, XeXMenu, or trying to play a game.

It's a QSB install per the instructions, with the blue wire routed as far from the coils as I could, plus insulated with standard electrical tape.

My temps were running about 100 at the CPU, 115 GPU, and MEM was running about 130, which seems high.

I initially flashed it with Dashlaunch installed, tried different versions of DL and FSD, and reflashed it without DL, and the freezing persists.

Those temps are real high. Although it could be wire placement. What speed are your fans set too?

 

[brouski]

I should add those are in Fahrenheit. That's about 37, 46, and 54 in C.

When I had FSD installed I set it to 100% just for giggles.

WoW >> 100 at the CPU, 115 GPU, and MEM was running about 130

Are you mad turn it off your GPU is failing over those temps that's why its freezing check your wiring buddy something is overheat you big time check the fans !! are they even on if your wiring is good take off the heatsinks i think you will find zero thermal compound on the dyes

lol thats ok then

100F = 38C
115F = 46C
130F = 55C

Now that you cleared that up if your 360 is fine for 10 mins of more its nothing to do with the rgh its more down the lines of your GPU heading to rrod sorry to say ..

Could he benefit from a X-Clamp Fix?

Freezing is definatly a sign that the console is on its way out.
Getting the board reflowed properly is more effective than just replacing the x-clamps

This console never had a hint of instability before I glitched it, so while not impossible it seems unlikely to be a coincidence.

Question, if I want to go back to stock and test, is flashing the stock NAND enough or do I have to unsolder the chip?

No just set the coolrunner to prog and reflash the original nand.

my dude check wires look at this http://team-xecuter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=82731&highlight=freezing+tips

try the RG-174 coax like in Martin's or Uber's threads, also try with, or without the onboard cap

I found that 100nf cap is too much on some consoles and would make them freeze....68nf, 47nf, even 680pf have worked for me on points A and ground.

everything your telling him has nothing to do with what's happening to him he has a GPU problem if his wiring is good, what your telling him has to do with glitching boot times to make it more stable..

Definitely flash back to stock and set to PRG to see what happens. If it's ok, then you've eliminated hardware.

Did that and now it's locking up at the Xbox logo.

My poor console. :frown:

Could I be getting some kind of interference from the wiring still being in place?

Why not remove the wiring and answer your own question?

IT'S ALIVE!!!!!

Desoldered everything and booted up just fine. So where does that leave me? Could the presence of the chip been causing a heating issue? Interference from CPU_RST wire?

 

[J2G]

if you have tested the 360 and i don't mean a two min test game for awhile so the 360 gets nice and hot on the normal dash and see does it freeze up like before if it does not then it has to be your wiring or soldering not being a 100% of a connection.

your overheating get new thermal paste and check your soldering
