Yesterday i was playing fable 2, the game froze. I restarted the console and the game, froze again with in 5 minutes.
Restart the console, put in COD4, froze within 5 minutes. Restart console, RROD, cleaned heatsinks and chips, fix RROD, start fable 2, froze again..., put in other games, froze again...sigh...
please help me.

i can access dashboard look at pics and listen to music. just no games no dvd movies, freezes everytime within 2 minutes. something wrong with the graphics card?

console has never done this before, RROD once before, but fixed after awhile.

Sounds like a similar problem inositle had. We thought it was gpu heatsink / solder related. He could towel it for a while and it would work... but over time it would require longer towel sessions to work.

It's a overheating issue, the solder joints sound like they're getting ready to go out. You've only got 2 options at this point. Xclamp fix or sell it.

X-Clamp isn't a permanent fix. You might just be reaching the end of the x-clamps life.

They only work for 3 months tops, after that the bolts get loose from all the heat/expansion and need to be reset, recooked.

i got little more detail with the problems.
i cleaned the harddrive cache, it got rid of all game updates and stuff, 360 worked fine, i can play games and anything without freezing...however, if i want to play online, i have to install the updates, so it seems like that after the update for the game is installed, the game freezes.

any knowledge on this issue?
