Does your original freeze on occasion?

If yes: Your DVD drive could be experiencing problems. Unfortunately this is semi-common

If no: Your DVD drive's laser resistance may need to be checked. DO NOT do this if you don't know what i'm talking about or how to do it.

This is a very risky procedure that should only be performed by a professional with professional equiptment.

thanks for that, think i have addressed the problem fitted an intercooler
from my other 360 and played 2 backups for over an hour each with no problems
it seems you def need to keep it as cool as poss when playing backups for some reason???
originals worked fine without intercooler will have to shell out for another one now!!!
