i have been using my modded xbox for over one year without problems. now when i turn it on , it works for about 10 minutes then stops working and the front light starts flashing orange. at that point nothing works and the only way to turn it off it to unplug it.
any help would be appreciated.

If it works for 10 minutes, it sounds to me like its overheating. Even if its not, its not going to hurt it to open and clean the inside of any dust. Just use a can of compressed air, and even try running it with the cover off to see if makes a difference. _________________
i had moved my xbox and when i moved it, it had stopped working. i opened it and fixed it. since then i have had this problem. i believe the D0 connection came out and i put it back in. i will check the fan connections and blow out the unit.
thanks for the help and anything further would be great.

i opened my box and removed the hd and dvd and blew it out. i plugged it back in without the hd or dvd and it runs fine(with a green light on front) (with both fans working), for a while but then the front light changes to a flashing red and green and stays there.
any ideas.

I think the green-red light comes on because of the hd and dvd drive being absent, So you might try pluging in the hd and dvd and try again. But i dont know, i could be wrong. _________________ If it's broken, repair it,

so here is the update. i attached the hd and dvd and let the machine run without any disks for about a half hour and no problem. then i put a disk in and after about 20 minutes, i got the flashing orange light and the machine froze. i had to unplug it to turn it off.
any further ideas would be helpful
