Hi Everyone,

I hope someone can help or suggest something to me, my brother's 360 has started acting up as of late, so far have not seen the RRoD, but his games have been freezing, no matter what game he is playing, after 5 minutes, the game freezes, and he can't do anything, so has to turn it on and off again!

Anyone had this issue before? if so, can you suggest what maybe the problem and perhaps the solution?

He either got it one or two years ago, I have a feeling it was 2 years!

Any ideas? Would really appreciate any response!

Thanks

Ya, i'd get Microsoft on speed dial, and have a big box ready to put the 360 into once it goes. I think its a right of passage that every 360 owner must go though, to really feel like part of the community.

Yep,
sounds like yet another 360 is on life support..
My Elite started acting up a very similar way before giving up the ghost completely..

It never got to the RROD stage, which could be an issue when it comes to dealing with MS' extended warranty, but constant freezes even on a "cold" system are not a good sign..

Mine started doing it after a 'repair'. Im pretty sure its a common problem, so phone MS see if theyll repair it for you at least.
