My October 09 Jasper is showing signs of decay I'm almost certain it isn't the hard drive now as it's stuttering when running off the Disc and all my saves and profile are on USB. It also does it in MW2 and Black Ops Combat training.


Nearly ended my streak there and I like the way my team mate seems to stop stare and do a WTF? :p

It's starts to happen when it's been on for a couple of hours. One other random thing it did on a long session was the Mic just went all white noise different pads made no difference only rebooting solved it.

So any ideas on how long before the stutters become lock ups and worse?
 
It ain't lag the console is mini freezing and as I said above it happens in Combat Training which is Offline. Also with 30+ days of MW2 I know what Lag is this is 100% freeze then 100% ok. There is always some give or variability in lag. Also if you look at the mini map every one else is moving smoothly including the team mate that seems to stare at me doing a WTF?

It's not freezing, the tree shadow is still moving.

I bet you £100 it doesn't do it in single player.
 
Yeah that's right it can't be entirely frozen the plot thickens. I have a solid 4 bar throughout in the match that clip is taken from. Combat training is like the single player though.
 
Just remembered that the theatre replay is captured by the host so things around me will still be in motion and not the full freeze I actually saw.

I'll have that £100 now :p I've been doing BlackOps campaign achievements solidly over the past two days and its been stuttering just the same. The longest one was at the point in WMD you're prone with the crossbow as the Russian patrol passes. Intermittently I couldn't pan the camera.
 
Does it only stutter running from the disc? If it does it could be your laser is about to take a ****
 
Could be about to RROD on you then mate. If you think you can I would open her up and reapply some good thermal paste to the chips. Its not hard at all.

I always do this to my consoles. Honestly, will save you so much hassle in the long run!

It's still pretty infrequent and there's plenty of warranty left. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what the summer temps do to it.
 
If there is still a warranty take it back mate. Will save you loads of hassle in the long run
 
Don't be daft who cares about a 5 killstreak? I have no other capture method and it just happened to be one of the longer drawn out stutters. I'm sorry if including 2 seconds after it unfroze offends your sensibilities, but otherwise how would the viewer know how long it lasted.

What I do care about is the insurance on the console runs out in October and it might be beneficial if it conks out before then. It's the first 360 I've ever owned so I thought I'd consult the long suffering experts as to how long it might last.
