Title: My Xbox 360 Crashed Twice
Post by: Roadkill on April 27, 2009, 12:03:51 pm: Never had this problem before.

I was playing and my xbox just crashed once after 5 mins. The second time it crashed after 5 mins again but this time some weird lines came on the screen and a sort of high pitched sound came from my TV. I switched the console on again to check if it got the RROD, it didn't. :pop:

It is in a sort of confined space with my hot PC fan blowing near it it. (Stupid, I know) When I get my new PC it will be in another place and the xbox will be in a more well ventilated area. I won't use it again until it is in a more well ventilated area.

Do you think that it will survive for much longer, should I worry? Baring in mind that it is a fairly new model. (2008).

Don't worry though. MS has a 3 year warranty on the RRoD. Just fill in the details on their website for a RRoD repair and then phone UPS and they're arrange a pickup from home.
Got mine back in under a week. Which is faster than they're 2-3 weeks ETA. Plus you get any other faults fixed for free. I got a new Disc drive for example :D
Oh and you get a free 1 month XBL card too.

You might not even get the RRoD. But be prepared for the worse. Could just be some other problems....

And it burns out the power pins and blocks the three main fans...

Lmao.

Well, RRoD sucks, I've got it twice, I was fortunate enough though to leave it for a while, and the RRoD was gone. Try leaving it for a day, or two maybe and see if it goes, still, sorry to hear man.

Post by: Roadkill on May 04, 2009, 12:40:50 pm: I got the RROD at the right time to be honnest because I just got a new gaming PC. :)

I'll get it repaired and then sell it. Xbox 360 sucks.

:ps: No, I didn't use an intercooler.
