Yeah I got my PS2 a week after it came out. Worked perfectly for a long time, but now refuses to play certain games.

Only have a couple blue bottoms, but they're kept in perfect condition, they just freeze up EXACTLY 4 minutes and 38 seconds into the game. It's weird. I've totally dissassembled the PS2, cleaned it, checked connections, checked laser, etc. Reassemebled it and it still won't work (no I didn't screw it up, everything else works perfectly even some scratched games that barely worked before work now). Sucks. I freakin want to play hockey.

You know, freeze ups are usually the results of overheating. Either the processors or the memory or both might not be the proper cooling. Try putting the PS2 in a well ventilated space and maybe point a fan to it. That could help. That or there are console coolers that would do the trick.

yeah thought of that, but it's not it. Always freezes 4 min 38 sec into that game (and only that game) whether it's after playing 4 hours of max payne or if it's the first time the ps2 has been on that day and it's suspended in front of our air conditioning vents. No visable scratches. Nothing. It's stumping me. The only thing is that the music and SFX on the game stop at about 4 min 20 sec and then 18 sec later the game freezes. If it was a RDRAM freeze I think the graphics would freeze first. That's why I think it's a messed up read error somehow.

the freezing of the game 4 minutes and sum odd seconds into the game is a conspiracy!!! and dang this thread got a lot of replies for just being me complaining about nnot having a mem card
