What do you mean it starts to frag? What exactly happens?

Sounds more like a connection issue with the chip. If you fitted it, recheck all soldering.

All of the forums seem to point the problem to missoldering or fittings, I would really like to know WHY all of a sudden, these Xboxs do this. I could understand first or second day gameplay, but months though.

On standard XBOX's(chip off) the clock needs setting every 24 hours.

??? Never heard that before!

Isn't there a battery on the MOBO that keeps the clock settings when it's off?

Like on a PC? I know when ever I disconnect the PSU from the MOBO I have to reset my clock... almost as if there's a little battery on the PSU...

Just a hunch.

There isn't a battery, but there *is* a capacitor. When this depletes, the clock settings are gone.

Ok, so same same, just a battery would be easier to replace!

I figured it was something like that. Thanks for clearing it up Martin.
