Someone probably tried to connect to live while playin a non retail game.
this is what happen to me too, i had xbx live working unbanned on my box, then i sent it in to llamma.com cause the mobo ffedupluckly i had the eeprom backed up in a thousand places on my pc,then got it back from llamm with a new mobo + they gave me a spare unlocked stock hd, then i used configmagic to reflash the mobo and relock the hd, then i went on live for on a friday, i was banned on sunday night....
next i went into xbox-scene thread mode and read about 10 threads, including this one, then i persuaded a buddy to mod his box and install the evox/ unleashx because he uses Xlink not xbox live ,next i got his eeprom, reflashed my mobo not knowing i needed a new hd due to my gamertag being flagged and all, live worked for approx 9 hours, i got on and played for about 7 hrs, i got home from school next day all happy, turned it on and bam... banned again, got damn it, so i got pissed and callled ms customer support, i thought i got lucky cause a new worker spoke with me, after about 2 hrs i ended up talking to the supervisor, next thing ya know he said he would send me and xbox(wtf i didnt ask for that, i played stupid and lied my ass off when they asked me if any screws were reomved, and sticker removal) so i'm like ahhh na, i am not sending my special edition halo box to them live banning meat beating toenail biting bitches.
so thats my story, hope this helps the N00bs
let me know

Yeah!!! the supervisor said he'd send me a replacement, then i would have to send in mine which is a modded halo xbox with a 60gb hd and a samsung dvd = best modbox
Well... How are you going to deal with the fact that your box has been open? Have you thought about that part yet?
Good luck though... hope you can make it.
I have to take these threads with a grain of salt now, the only thing that i can chalk up is the fact someone else installed his chip, who then down the road sold the eeprom to someone else who got it banned, just a theory, but a legitmate one
