cause of RSOD

[TylerDurden]

There are different causes for the RSOD.

1. Wrong format of disc. (not a ps1/2 game)

2. Backup without modchip or device to boot it. (will give you same as above)

3. Dirty media

4. Scratched/unreadable media

There are probably more but thats what I can think of off the top of my head.

I guess it's also possible that your modchip is playing up or one or more of the wires aren't making a good connection. MI are very good modchips though so I doubt the actual chip is fuber, but I would check the connections.

Also, like Cobra alrady mentioned, do you ever get the RSOD when using originals from your region? If you do, then it could be a laser issue. If you never get it, then I bet it's got something to do with the chip.

Just for the record, I have a MI and I've never gotten a RSOD with any of my discs, imports, originals or backups. I use Ritek G04's too.
