My Xbox 360 kept freezing on the startup logo until I eventually turned it off and then on by hitting the DVD-tray open button. This probably indicates that the DVD drive is defective or on its way out – meh. Warranty here I come!

The problem is with a heat sink on the video processor, the heat sink (the cooling unit) that sits above it is too small. This means this chip gets very hot. Heat is not being pulled off the processor by the fans in the back and by the heat sink extension. Even the accessory fans that clip on the back are not enough. A solution if you don’t mind the Xbox all opened up is to open the Xbox to access the DVD ROM (do this only on systems that no longer carry a warranty). The DVD Rom is covering the heat sink. Remove the DVD ROM from its normal location and set aside still connected. Either using CP cooling fans or even a small electric fan point it at the heat sink. The system will no longer freeze.
well if you must buy Microsoft projects…
Do you mean “products”, Alex? :)
I think the RROD is on it’s way.
