Yea this is my problem. Yesterday i have replaced my dvd-drive. Here are the steps i have exactly followed.

1. Opening Xbox 360 case
2. Connecting the drive to PC via VT6421A Sata PCI Card
3. Dropping to Dos with a USB prepared by Xtreme Bootmaker
4. Using 10sec trick to take a copy of firmware with a custom mtkflash
5. Shut down both PC and computer
6. Disconnect Xbox from PC
6. Remove MS28 drive from Xbox.
7. Place Hitachi 78k in it.
8. Connect power cable.
9. Get it in ModeB with Slax.
10. Go to Windows XP, direct drive dump with Firmware Toolbox 4.8
11. Spoof that firmware as "Hk 78k orig.bin"
12. Failure to Smart Hack Patch "HK 78k orig.bin" (Not all veriables are resolved, cannot continue error)
13. Change to Windows Vista.
14. Try 12th step again. Failure with same error.
15. Restore original firmware with Toolbox.
16. Spoof the original firmware.
17. Smart Hack original firmware *success*
18. Put the Key of MS28 in the HK 78k firmware.
19. Differential Flash from Toolbox
20. When asked if i want to keep the old key in the drive, answer No.
21. Flashing success.
22. Reassemble the Xbox360, Play Gears of War for a while.

The New DVDROM was working great for the first hour and so. Then there has been little freeze-ups. I though they weren't significant. But as time startes to pass, they have become more frequent. By the noon, I have gotten a RROD but the console was working, and my brother was playing NBA 2k9 perfectly. Yet when we tried to play GTA4 twice, it freezed at the same place twice.

We got one RROD and console didn't start. But after shutting it down and powering it again it has started like nothing has happened. Yet freezes kept on happening.

Your 360 is on the way out. Having a replacement drive in the 360 is unrelated.

I guess it is possible, although unlikely, that opening the 360 .. pressure and  flex or what not could have pushed your RROD prone 360 over the edge.

So.. you can go do the xclamp thing,, then be back in the same boat relatively soon.

Time for a new 360

But then i find it really strange that i had no RROD or freezes before replacing the drive. I mean there were unreadable disc errors with previous drive, but no RROD or freezes.
