Well Widowmaker.. the solid red led is listed as "System overheated, hardware failure!" in a reference manual.

That sounds reasonable if you can play for 10 minutes before your system croaks and the waiting brings it back to life.
Is there any service error code when you try to run your originals through your stock MS Dash?

Have you moved your xbox to a less ventalated area maybe? Is your xbox fan still working (put your hand near the rear of the box and see if you can feel any exhaust). - that is if you can get it running temporarily again..

Right now I can't come up with many ideas myself.. I'm sure one of the other members have dealt with this before and would have a better suggestion.

Sorry, but good luck.

Also, do you smell that power surge smell? Something like burning elecrtonics?

I suggest you boot to evox in that 10 minutes that would work. Watch the heating and see what it gets to before it turns off. Make sure the fan in the back is spinning.
