I decided to upgrade my dreamcast to a gamecube a few days ago so i could play some new pso. haven't gotten a hold of a bba yet, so i haven't played online and have just been playing offline. however, the thing crashes like crazy. i assume these are fsod's from what i've read here, but i haven't read about them happening offline. it will crash after about 5 minutes if i just let the demo movies run resulting in a black screen. it will crash if i flip around in the title or sub menus too much or too fast. it crashes randomly on vr temple alpha. it crashes on the forest boss. basically it's anytime, anywhere. i have sufficient airflow as i stuck in the open and off the carpet. and the resulting crash leaves nothing working, but music still plays and the last frame is still displayed. hitting the reset button does nothing and i have to shut the whole system off to end it all.
so my question is, is this normal? or do i have a faulty gamecube.
ps.. since that gamecube deal was running, i picked up metroid at the time for free as well. and that game crashes even faster and more often than pso. I've read about a very specific part in the game where it seems to crash for almost everyone, but i haven't even gotten that far yet. so this with pso crashing is what makes me think the gc is faulty.
