Title: Red/green Flash
Post by: SMP_Homer on March 15, 2004, 03:00:00 PM

I modded this 1.3 xbox in December... tsop flash...
has been working fine up until about a week ago

kept freezing in games...

so my friend brought it to me to see what it could be...

I powered it on, launched Halo from the HD, and froze partway through

now when I power it on, it's either solid green and no display or power on/off 3 times and red/green flash... no display

What could it be?  What's possible fix?

5 minutes later, it runs again... and again freezes when launching a game...

heat issue?

Checked all the fans... only 1 fan really...
seems fine...

seems to run for a long time just at the dash...
MB temp needed about 4 minutes to reach 100 F
CPU 130 F

What's the proper range for these things?

Dodgy RAM?  Can happen with PCs sometimes.  If the dashboard isn't using the faulty section, it'll be fine.  Game loads, writes data to faulty RAM, tries running it, a few commands get corrupted by the RAM, machine crashes.

Might just be my box, but my CPU never really sees more than 105-107 F, even after about 5 hours running

thanks for that link...

since that 2nd post I put up, It's been running fine, non-stop

all I did was blow in it, and a small dusct cloud rose up... there wasn't that much dust in there, and I've seen much much worse...
