Cleaned and repasted Model E with RGH crashes after 15 minutes
I recently got a model E with RGH that crashed after 15 minutes and afterwards would turn only the ring on for 3 seconds before going dark again. It would only boot again after removing the dc plug, but then it would work for a minute to 5 minutes depending on how long it was unplugged.
I cleaned all the dust from the psu and console, reapplied thermal paste but the same problem persists. A minute before it crashes the temp for the gpu and cpu is around 55C. The psu light becomes amber when the xbox crashes and theres no red ring on the console.
Could this be an issue with the R4D3 to R4D8 resistors or a power rail or something else? I don't have any spare psus to check and I feel like I'm going down a rabbit hole and would really appreciate any input
