Ok I have had this xbox lying around not fixed for ages and have never got round to fixing it.
The problem I had was over heating in which I brought some thermal paste and solved the problem, after months of playing I started to get a lot of freezing when I was playing games.
Legit or Downloaded games.....
The xbox will load to the dashboard fine with no problems.
I then go to load the game and it will freeze as soon as I start playing it.
I have used Artic Silver 5 Thermal paste on the two chips inside and re-seated the heatsinks.
I am wondering if this may be a laser problem with the DVD drive? The freezing issue has gotton a lot worse from say 4hours of play to just 5seconds now.
I have cleared the hard drive cache and done a system reset with the sync then power on button to clear any bad updates.
I have got a CD cleaner on order so will clean the DVD drive with it too.
It has the LT1.1 on the drive but I have not gone online since I have had these errors.
I am thinking of buying a new slim drive but then its all the bother of flashing it again.
I have also added a youtube video showing you my problem, tonight the game started to load a little bit longer than usual but you will see at the end of the video the games crash on start up.
