==> Dreamcast Problem!!! HELP...

Recently, I bought a used dreamcast console. When I play after an hour, there're few games (backups such as crazy taxi 2) that no longer boot or not detected by the console at all. Sometimes, during loading or gameplay, it frooze or it takes a long time. Do any of you know what's the problem??? Is it the laser len is dirty? Something wrong with the motor? Any thing I can do to fix this?

Any comments are appreciated!!! Thanks...

OVERHEAT

I found mine works the best and for the longest time if after I place a disc in the drive, I turn the machine over on its lieft side with the fan port facing up, then I place a small desk fan to blow across the bottom of the Dreamcast case.

This seems to stop the lockup problems, so long as I cool it from the beginning. If it isn't cooled from the start (already warmed up too much), it will lock up prematurely.
