It’s probably getting too hot, yes? It’s not in an enclosed area - but it’s not too well ventilated. I didn’t think this thing needed that much air. ---

sounds like you got sold a bunk xbox360!!! dunno, mine freezes up sometimes, disc read errors etc. it needs a lot of ventilation, if you have anything on top of or around it, take it off for sure what do you expect, its microsoft 😛 ---

If you feel like tearing the 360 open, you can do the “X clamp replacement”. Actually, first off…does it get the 3red lights? Even if it doesnt it is 75% chance its still the GPU or the CPU. If you do get the red lights you can get a 2nd error code out of it. Here is the procedure for the “X Clamp Replacement” [http://rbjtech.bulldoghome.com/pages/rbjtech\_bulldoghome\_com/XClamp.htm](http://rbjtech.bulldoghome.com/pages/rbjtech_bulldoghome_com/XClamp.htm) Here’s a few sites/forums with alot of good info. [http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?c=149,161,137,140,166,141,145,177](http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?c=149,161,137,140,166,141,145,177) [http://www.xboxchopshop.com/catalog/manuals.php?osCsid=8e313854f24c78238ea3ab843d505261](http://www.xboxchopshop.com/catalog/manuals.php?osCsid=8e313854f24c78238ea3ab843d505261) [http://www.llamma.com/xbox360/repair/Xbox-360-error-codes.htm](http://www.llamma.com/xbox360/repair/Xbox-360-error-codes.htm) That last site has ALOT off neat shit to jazz up ur xbox. I’m trying like hell not to buy stuff like, box lighting, ect ect But, if u do redo the X clamps, use the Artic Silver #5, cut the metal grill from the case for better air flow, wire your fans to run on 12V (=faster), and consider putting a fan in front of the CPU heat sink or in the top of the case, blowing on or a bit infront of the CPU heatsink. Hope the tidbit of info helps ya b (Ive done alot of researching on these peices of shit to see how to make them better) Hope lil tidbit of info helps ya brutha! Lemmie know what u do. OH! and check out my threads about my experience in the “Huge Nerd Corner” area. ---

OH YEAH! If you have never opened it up, I read that u can call MS and buy an extended warranty. Then, you can call a week later and send your box in for a fix. Also, if you want to send it in w/o warranty, its $130. ---
