My Xbox 360 Crashed Twice

[Roadkill]

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).


The picture was similar to this.

You're about to get the RRoD. Same happened to me. Keep it off for a while and put it near a widnow or something...someone cool. Games freeze too. 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
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....

OK well I'll let you know if I get it or not

What a beauty!

Awww I think my Xbox is trying to tell me it loves me.

Poor 360  . R.I.P. and did you buy and crap called Intercooler? That's bull crap. since it runs on USB, it will overheat your 360.

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

Try sticking it in the freezer.

Try sticking it in the freezer.

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. 

[Roadkill]

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.
