    Did you buy it new? If so, when? Where from?

    Might be a bad ground, did you check the USB ports for bent pins. I'd actually open the console and check all input/output jacks are grounded to the shield especially the psu jack just to be sure.

    I wouldn't open it if it's still under warranty

    Ah good thinking batman, I always forget about the warranty. I'm just so use to opening consoles to find the problem and I forget that some may not know what to look for and warranty might be the best option for them if it still applies.
