WTF!

first time happened after i actually started playing, second time happened while i was putting the pics on my PC... man.. hope its not my xbox, its totally stock, hitatchi drive. arg...

third time in a row.. this is shit.

fourth time, after clearing the cache of my hard drive, it prompted me to do the update again, i hit yes and it locked up.

welcome to the dysfunctional xbox club. gears of war killed your box. godfather killed my last two. sorry bro.

[ILLusions0fGrander]

eh.. tried it on my sansung and it works fine. only thing i adjusted was the video mode from default to lucid, but i highly doubt that would do anything


holy shit.. it did just kill my xbox... mother f#$@

need for speed just did it... never once has this happened, this is the reason i sent my first xbox back and got this one.

I just played three hours of Gears of war and then watched the bonus dvd with no problems.

my guess is that GoW is a little more CPU/GPU intensive than any other game to date, and as xpert said, they cheaped out on my thermal paste so i pretty much fried it... console manuf. date is over a year too, so no warranty.

bleh.

ahah this horse shit started happening to me on sunday... two days before gears was released... and this is my second console... so now im on number three and using all my originals because the new drive can't be firmware modded... but i went and spent the money on another year warranty witch you can buy each year as long as you bought one from the previous year ( thank god for EBGAMES) and bought a intercooler anything else i should do ? i cut the metal case shielding from the back of my last console and that didn't help with cooling you think intercooler will do fine? or should i go get that artic cool stuff and put it on the gpu and cpu? do i have to clean the old off and then put the new on

I've noticed that sometimes the highly graphic games shut down the fan. This has happened on mine while playing GRAW, PGR3, and Dead Rising. The odd thing is that it is the games with weak graphics that freeze it, Bomberman and Test Drive.

[ILLusions0fGrander]

i played GRAW, Dead Rising, Test Drive, and PGR3, and many others.. never had this problem. it literally happened about 10 seconds into where it started the actual gameplay, for some reason just couldnt handle it.

i wouldnt mind getting a new box from MS, but they wont do it im sure... even though they built a faulty box, shipped me another faulty box that just now breaks after no signs of stress for months.

that sucks man

kage360 and i have been playing syslink coop for 14 hours straight and no probs, my 360 runs no warmer than usual.

[ILLusions0fGrander]

horizontal position, always.

but yeah, R.I.P number 2. my number three never gets its ethernet cable plugged in because of its DVD drives FW, but before i realized it cooked my system, i tried GoW in that 360, and it ran fine.

i think before playing it anymore ill add the arctic silver i have left over from my PC CPU, and get a decent fan.

wonder how many other peoples 360's  die out... i know ive read a few others on maxconsole and gamefaqs.

for my sake maybe it will be pretty common, common enough for me to get it replaced free/

Bummer.

Did you try it without the hard drive or the 360 on another television?  What about in standard def?

bleh.

If your manufacture date is pre-2006 then MS will honor your warranty and replace it for free.  They are replacing my launch day console as we speak.
