Graphics degradation..........fried chips?

Post » Tue Feb 03, 2015 8:59 am

Hey guys, I'm looking for some advice.

Over the past few months I've notice what I think is extra lines and poor texture rendering on chars faces most noticeable when they're in shade. Also the small white text on the hot key menu has been getting harder to read. I know my Xbox had got hot a few times, in fact it always get pretty warm in normal use. Sometimes it freezes up altogether.

Question is is it possible for the graphics chips or whatever to gradually cook and under perform. It's it slowly breaking down do you think?

It used to be able to play Morrowind, but now the game screen is just a small off centre box within the bigger to screen and it's so jagged as to be impossible to read anything, maybe that's part of the same problem?

Any advice gratefully received.
Oh and yes, the Xbox has had a lot of use, approx I'd guess 6000 hours since purchase two and a half years ago. Is it simply worn out? Or not

Have you in all your other games the same (more or less) problems ???

If Yes, you should get your console to a repair shop.

Do you get any of those kind of errors ???
