Hello all.
I have a 1.6 version Xbox that was softmodded..I use UnleashX as the default dashboard and run XBMC 3.5.1 as an app.
I have no problems in UnleashX, but when I fire up XBMC it will randomly hard shut down the xbox. This usually happens in the first five minutes or so of starting up XBMC.
Normally I would suspect some bad capacitors on the motherboard, a failing PSU, or bad solder joints, but the problem only happens when running XBMC so I am thinking it is a software issue.
Is there any way to fix this?
thanks

Re: XBMC randomly shutting down Xbox
Sounds like it could be the power save/hlt instruction issue. More info here: http://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/forum/viewt ... hlt#p24806

You need to create an advancedsettings.xml with <powersave>false</powersave> to test it.

Re: XBMC randomly shutting down Xbox
thanks for the reply.
I think I have it fixed.
I took the Xbox apart to clean out the dust and look things over and wouldn't you know it it there was 5 bulging capacitors in the area where the PSU plugs into the motherboard.
I swapped in some new caps and everything seems to be working.
I just don't understand why the bad caps wasn't causing problems in UnleashX?
