xbox shuts down after 15 min

Does your fan still work? Might be overheating if the fan crapped out.

No the fans are working.
I think it's a supply mather.
In some way the powerbutton does'nt work ,or work's all the time.

First I am going to ask if the modchip is enabled/disabled with the power of eject button.

If not, load up evox and let it sit for 15 minutes or whatever. Take a note of the temp.

It probably isn't a temp problem, though. You should check under the power supply. There are 2 points under the cord socket in which the solder cracks off and can cause a lot of problems. My xbox used to do that, I got a new power supply, and now it does it every 2 hours or so. If you have another xbox around, swap HDD's. If the problem stays, then it has to be the mobo.

It's a not modded xbox.
If the solder points are cracked , can it be fixed?

[Quall999]

yah, you just have to resolder it. It should fix it, if that is the problem. Before you open the xbox, wiggle the socket up and down from the back. If it moves easily, it is probably creacked. You would also smell that "transformer" electric smell.

Checked the mains solder points, they are perfect.
Another thing is that i can't turn the power off with the power button.
It allways stays on untill it shut's off after 15 minutes.

When you press the power button, does it turn off "half way". Like, does the video go out and everything, but the power button and HDD continue to stay on.
