xbox crashing problems

**bobbydavro** · 30th September 2003

a couple of my boxes are getting erratic crashing errors.

most notably both of them can't play simpsons it crashes when u go to start a new game. Also noticed random crashing and hanging in tiger2K4.

my other boxes are fine, there all fitted with same drives same xecuter 2.1 same bios and same evox.

Whats the likely candidate of these odd crashes?

I was thinking evox?

disable IGR in evox
disable rdtools option in evox
use x2 4977 or 4978.03 as your bios
check your fan is working correctly

cheers

so you don't think evox? (I was thinking about a re-install maybe something has become corrupted over time?)

first 2 are definitely off.
not sure on bios version haven't checked last time I upgraded em all tho was when an upgrade was required to by pass the HD checks that were introduced was that 4977?

will check fans

OK my bios is 4976.02 so you think thats the problem?

should I upgrade it to 4978.03?

is there somewhere that tells you what all these bios upgrades have fixed?

I can't find 4978.03 I can only find 4977.02 is there something wrong with that compared to 4977 ?

4978.03 has an alpha ftp included.
If you go to xbins Im sure all the bios there have readme infos with them so you can see the changes etc.
