I've had this xbox softmodded for a while and it seems to be running a lot slower then when I first started using it. I started seeing the slowdown with NCAA 06 and thought that it was a problem with EA programing bad, but then saw that my friends xbox had no problem running it.
Madden 06 it was hardly even playable on the Hard Drive.. I burnt Madden 06 to DVD and the game ran perfect. I softmodded the stock 8gb hard drive with Madden on it and it ran perfect also.
My questions are...
*Is my hard drive going bad?
*I've added and removed a lot of games from the HD, could it be fragmented? If so, is there a way to fix it?
*Is there any type of files that could be saved on the HD that causes games to run slow.. maybe something I installed at some point?
*Any other Ideas?
Thx! =)
P.S. I tried putting Madden 06 on the F and G Partitions, but had the same problem on both. Don't know if that matters much.

try clearing your caches and see if the problem persists
if you dont understand what i just said, do a search on clearing caches
if the games still run slow, then your hard drive is going bad.
how long have you had it ?
maybe your stock xbox fan is going bad? most of these problems are solved by extra cooling.
well, let me know after your perform these diagnostics.
