I've never experienced anything like this with my machine.
Sounds like the lens tracking beyond the disk maybe?

It's possible... whatever it is it's looking like my gamecube's disc drive is dead and I'm incredibly disappointed with the whole thing... I need to decided if getting a new one is really in my best interest.Comment

My machine has also just done it on Beach Spikers and crashed. I'm going to buy some compressed air and clean the system out to see if that solves the problem.Comment

I don't know if that's a fair statement. It's a known fast that dust acts as insulation for electric parts and makes them overheat. The fact the mine starts "overheating" after 20 mins or so and keeps having disc read errors more frequently after that implies that it's likely that dust could be the problem.
Of course a worn out motor in the drive could also be a problem as it would have more current going through it if it wasn't spinning as fast as it should.Comment

My PAL Cube started doing it this week
I was having a quick go of Resident Evil and when accessing the disc it was clunking like a bugger
No hang up's or crashes though
Guess I'll just have to turn up the volume on the TVComment
