YEah it sucks dude. Not the HDD or the power supply, so gotta be some ovrheating problems....darn it

you need to send back to gamester direct. which you already contact raymond right ?


hard to say~ it could be bad luck. Yesterday I want to sell xbox 360.. instead I cannot sync any controller to the xbox 360 ...

will let you know once if things can be fix.

Thanks bro.

will it be certain games causing the console overheating?

well, it can be~. but if this is the major problem.. then a lot of xbox 360 also kaput already.

Wish u best of luck in the repair process bro...

By the way, anybody selling their 360? PM me please

you're not alone in this misfortune. got mine 3 weeks ago as well and this afternoon when i tried to on it, the 3 red rings of death appeared. i've played accordingly within the timeframe of max 3 hours at one time and still this happened. bought mine in imbi.

According to rumors as reported by XBOX Scene website, Dead Rising caused a couple of XBOX 360s to show the ring of death, I guess if the game really pushes the console to its limits, I'm pretty sure that the operating temperature will be much higher since it is working under load.

looks like i've to buy a new 360,
mine currently is giving bro metalgrind a hard time fixing..ONLY MINE!!
the stupid 3ROD keep coming back after a few minutes..
what on earth hav i done to deserve this?
ai...i just bought GOW and waiting happily for my 360 to come back but seems that now i may not be able to play it..
jealous u guys la...

XP750,
mine the same case as u. my console is with bro metalgrindsolid now. hope he can fix it else i'll have to let her go

3rod victims, where do you keep your 360? cabinet?

Before or after 3ROD?

I kept mine in one of those hi-fi stacking racks. the roomed is air-conditioned when I'm playing it, and the ventilation is good. Nothing blocking my 360 so the circulation should be good. For god's sake, mine is only 3 weeks old! at least i can say that i've managed to finished my GOW b4 this happened.

Mine on top of the IKEA Jerker table. Aircond on, fan also on

What about your power bricks?(what's the proper name? lol) Mobius put his suspended on an old shoe box(my shoe box ) and so far it hadn't 3 ROD once, only frozen a couple of times in the guide button menus.

So one cable on left side of box and another on right side, so the brick is suspended.

my power brick is right next to my xbox360 unit getting cold air

Try the (un)guaranteed working shoe box method.

show me pics 1st

hmm then what in the world causes the melt down??!?!

it might because of the on board temp controller faulty? due to that your fans won't spin it in full speed if the cpu/gpu gets hotter?

this is what i can think of at the moment for causing the melt down.
