Dark_Knight Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 The Xbox 360 just freezes after 30 - 45min of usage. Its been happening since the past couple of days. The screen just freezes and sometimes there are just lines all over the screen. Does anyone have any idea as to why its happening? Its a Xenon 360 I bought in Oct 07 in Singapore so there is no warranty. But it has never given me any problems till now. Help please... What is causing the problem? Hope its not dying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftrunner Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Its dying. Similar thing happened to me. It got worse over days and then it would just freeze as soon as a game booted. Worked fine at the dashboard. Then it RROD'd. Its in heaven now with all the other good consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Sad man, it's dying a slow death. Try one more thing, try to run console without HDD and just one controller and see if it still freezing. If not then you can prolly get done with HDD and use USBdrive for saves and stuff. This solution reduces power consumption, theoretically. Its in heaven now with all the other good consoles.

HundredProofSam Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Ya its dying. Happened to me. After a point, it started freezing at the splash screen itself. A day or two later it was gone. Then Redington brought a new one (which was manufactured even before the one it replaced ) peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleared the cache and played for half an hour and it didn't freeze... Will try playing it longer later... But if it doesn't work then will remove the HDD and give it another try... Thanks...

devil_angel Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 If power brick shows green even when the console is frozen.....then, it'll die within a week, provided nothing wrong happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 And the pop sound,that sound always creeped me out well my 360 was brought in 07 (or was it 06.. dont remember) and it made a sound of a horny tractor while running, so never heard a 'pop' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
