This is going to sound weird, but I am having some odd problems with my Xbox.

I have a few games that will get to a certain point, then just stop working...

 

I then test the games out on the 360, and they work fine.

 

Currently, the two games are Conker and Stubbs.

Conker I get to the Dinosaur land, and the screen freezes, the goes white.. nothing.

Stubbs gets to the "Winners Don't Use Drugs" screen, and won't go further

 

Both work 100% on the 360 though, so any suggestions?

 

Even more weird, the games are spotless... they look brand new.

 

It's a Philips drive Xbox if that matters.

Sounds like a DVD drive starting to go bad. If it was running a different dash than stock then I would say clear cache partitions first. The Samsung drives always worked best for me on the original boxes.

Hrm, there is no disc read error but you have a point.
It's a stock standard non modded xbx

You might be able to attempt a drive cleaning disc, but I would figure it to be a hail mary.

Do they actually work?
I've been curious about them forever, some people say they actually can damage you drive.

It depends upon the type of drive and what is actually wrong. I've only found them effective about 13% of the time but if you can find one for $5 before forking over $30-40 for a replacement DVD drive it might be worth it.
