Ok I got GRAW and Blazing Angels last night but my xbox keeps crashing every once in a while. Its crashed 5 times already. This morning I play Blazing Angels for 25min and boom it freezes on the game screen and no response from controller and no sound.

I have to restart every time. At the momen I only see 1 green light on top left of controller (No red light). Dont know what the problem is?

Can anyone help or should I ship this back?

Could be heat related isssue. Is your box well ventilated?

Yeah man its in my bed room which is airconditioned. The box is placed vertically on the ground with good space all around. But the thing is I havent recieved any Red lights everything seems fine and then it just freezes.

Happened on dashboard too! Is'nt it suppose to warn me if its heating up?

I played GRAW couldnt finish the training stage (Froze 3 times). Then when I restarted the fourth time I played some random mission and could play for 20 min without issue.

Hmm... weird weird weird.. sounds like heat, but no red lights... hmmm.. oh oh.. disconnect your HDD see if it plays properly.. already have a people here who got HDD problems before.

Okay Im at office now gimme all suggestions to try out tonight before I have it sent....

Yup... lika marauderz suggested. Try running without the HDD.

The only times (3 or 4 times so far) mine froze was when I played online - guess this doesn't apply to u but thought it'd comfort u!! u're not alone!!

mine has frozen twice since i got it in january... once in doa4 and once in burnout revenge...

For me, the freezing usually had me toggling in and out of the guide like crazy during a game (not recommended)

yeah mine forze because i was playing with the guide button hehehehe... i don't think it would have crashed if i left it alone

Things to do so far

1. Place PSU in a open cool environment
2. Remove Harddisk
3. Delete Unfinished Updates

Play again!

Okay so I should only worry if the red lights go on right?

wow XBOX 360 soo many issue
than go to get this

Technical issues, it's normal for consoles at this early stage. But not to worry I'm sure Microsoft will fix it in due time because as consumers we got the rights to enjoy what we paid for. Hope the problem can be solved soon.

Well Im in Malaysia and I dont know whom to call for technical support? The Singapore number in the warranty booklet seems unreachable

most of the time the problems surface either due to over heating or fiddling with the guide button when the console is taxed on resources.... if you avoid those 2 things, you'll be fine

Well in MAlaysia we're pretty much screwed about support right now cause it's not officially launched here....

4. Make sure the "power brick" is also well ventilated
5. Make sure your feel a soft "tick" when you plug in the "power brick" to your console.
6. Do not press the "Guide button" while playing. Pause first then only press.
7. If possible plug the "power brick" to a voltage regulator.

yeah, your power brick needs air also.

as for not pressing guide button during playing. Usually games are programmed so that if they detect the guide they'll pause. But not for online games, and definetly NOT during a LOADING screen!

Im not using guide button at all. I think if it doesnt work without HDD and or better placed PSU. Then Im going to see if I can give it back to IMBI Mario and request repair or something. Im really unhappy and disappointed that my dream system didnt work. Right now Im considering not buying a MS product again...sorry guys

dont be so upset... my 360 also often hang session. normally i just restart it then ok already. got 1 time my profile corrupted big time cannot load at all.

hmmm give it a try with the suggestions from everyone here then see how.
