not gonna take the time to read the rest of this thread...


this is not caused by over heating... it's caused by slight vibrations.. or hard vibrations.. like bumping the box... set it horizontall.. should help out... i've got the fans on mine and it works fine...


basically DON'T TOUCH UR BOX IF IT'S VERTICAL! if u hear a crazy noise turn the box off immediately....

there is a hack u can do to fix this.. involves taking ur box apart.. putting some rubber foam in it... also buy some game protectors.
