I've had a look around for a tool that tests the Xbox hardware without success. Does anybody know of a util that does this?

Thanks

Everything appears to be working fine except when you load a game, after the usual HDD access noises, it returns to the dash menu. Original DVD's and from HDD.

Are you suggesting the BIOS performs boot tests?

The BIOS on boot (before it looks at the HD) looks for a default.xbe file within the DVD drive. If there isn't one there, it looks to the dashboard priority boot list for a dashboard located somewhere on thr HD.

I don't know, but maybe your BIOS isn't looking at d:\default.xbe first....? What BIOS are you using?

Also, maybe your DVD drive is dead? Does it load stuff located on the DVD from the dash, or XBMC?

Craig - I'd just about given up. To become an "Xbox Guru" presumably all you do is post hundreds of stupid replies? Quantity not quality.

v1.4
Xecuter 2.6 Lite
X2-5031
UnleashX build 562
160Gb

As far as I am aware the DVD is working. I can boot EvoX from CD OK just not a game, original or otherwise. When I attempt to run a game the Xbox just loops back to the dash. I have also tried to run Configmagic with the same results. I have erased e:/cache and reformatted x,y & z. I have ensured parental control is set to No Limits and the region is set to PAL I. The xbox has been working without fault for over a year. My son had finished playing a game did an IGR. The xbox hasn't loaded a game since.

Any help/advice is much appreciated.
