My Xbox 360 Screen Keeps Freezing!

COK3CAD3T · Feb 3rd 2009, 2:23pm

When I try to play a game, use the Xbox Dashboard or the Xbox Guide, or wait for the console to start, my screen will "freeze," and seem to lock up. When this occurs, I do not receive an error message, and no lights flash on the console to indicate a problem.

There is a page on the Xbox website which gives tips on what top do such as "make sure your Xbox is away from heat" "remove the harddrive" "check the connection" etc.

I called the free support line and its all automated. she pretty much just read from the frikin web page!

I just wanted to know if anyone else had had this problem before and if yes how they solved it?!

PLEASE come back to me with tips and tricks if you know about any of this. I would like to add that I am out of guarantee and I hope that has nothing to do with it ¬¬

BUT THIS IS FUNNY...check out this screen shot i made from Xbox.com

it made me laugh. i call it the "xbox 360 support FAIL"

I actually do keep my 360 away from the TV. You never know plus I can't put it near my TV anyway, I have had my screen freeze at times but that's because my 360 crashed. xD

And when it locks up I wait for it too unlock which last less than a minute. I've never known MS to use the automated system on XBL, everytime I've phoned them they use an Automated system to take you to the right help desk. Um, either way if it's freezing it's maybe to hot or some shit ... Who knows, it might be dieing but it's best to take precautions even if they're silly ones, just please don't be a n00b and wrap your 360 in a towel -.-" Even though that fake solutions for RoD.

Sooo tempted to make a comment about PS3 reliability, but will overcome the temptation

No no... When my 1st Xbox broke down, I got a free replacement, which was my 2nd Xbox and when that broke down I got another free replacement which I now use.

And the PS3 sucks 'nuff said.

Matt · Feb 6th 2009, 4:08pm

I hope people do know the warrenty for 360 systems have been extended to 3 years =/

That's how I remember anyway, I'll jave to double check that.

I had to send mine in when it started to freeze up. It started during stupid shit like arcade games. Then I'd freeze in the middle of graphic intensity, like GRiD and CoD4, but it was rare. Soon, it started to freeze constantly, and I had to nig-rig a fan on the back to keep it from going out. Eventually, the colors washed, and the GPU burned while I was playing Guitar Hero.

You can send it in and they'll cite it as RROD, but itll be gone for weeks. I had to send mine to PA, then they sent it back so I could send it off to TX.

That's because 360s have so many problems... simple things that no other console has.

PlayStations FTW!!
