I modded this 360 last week and started playing backed up games.

But for the last 2 days whenever I turn the system on for the first time in a couple of hours, GTA and Grid (only 2 games I own) freeze within 5 seconds of playing the game. So what I do is leave the console on for about 10 minutes with it frozen like that, turn it off and then back on, and both games work perfectly for hours.

I've cleared the cache and replaced the heatsink goo.

Any ideas of how I can play my 360 without having to warm it up like a car on a cold winter morning?

Burnt, Verbatim.

This happens with the original copies as well.
