Hey people,

My 360 keep crashing every 5 minutes or so into a game. It doesnt show 3 ROD, though. I posted the some pix of the crash so u guys can have better idea of what i'm saying:

After it crashed, none of the buttons on the controller were responsive, including the the Xbox Guide button. It happened to all my games, all my movie DVDs. I tried playing a clip off the HDD (for about 6-7minutes) and it works ok.

any idea what is wrong?

Could be the early signs of the 3ROD

Yups seems to be an early sign of 3ROD, just like mine did before it went to 3ROD. Better get it fix.

So, do u know what exactly went wrong? Or i gotta wait til the lights appear, and check out the code? i read in another thread ur fixing one. how do i send it to u?

Nt sure bout mine but whn i tried to turn on my 360 suddenly got 3rod or 4rod..Dunno la coz the top right cant c well le..Got dat twice..Let it cool down thn nth happened anymore..

Nw damn scared de...

if its 4 ROD, it could be ur cable...not very sure though... but mine....pening now...

No need to pening. I had the same problem 2 days back. After a reboot, everything seems fine dandy. Good eh?

UNFORTUNATELY, it's a totally different story yesterday night. Boot it up, same thing happening. Then, I'm seeing it more frequently. I knew it's coming.

BOOM, at approximately 12:21 AM, the bugger just smiled at me with the stupid blinking look on its face. Sigh....

Add me to the club guys!

how old is your 360? still under warranty or not?

January 31, 20000000000000000007.

It's not even 3 months old and I can't Bernard on the phone. How does he deals with warranty claims anyways? Any idea?

The same thing as in TS punya or mine?

try unplug everything then replug back all see can or not. also try boot up without the hdd.

iinm, bernard only offered 1to1 exchange for the first month only. after that he need to send back to supplier and wait quite some time. why dont you try pm bro leenaz for more information.

Eisen: Both. It was fine yesterday, bu the 3ROD was there for a sec or two, rebooted, it was all fine.

Mine still can turn on sometimes.... and crashes all the time with a 3rod. When that happens, nothing will appear on the screen until I leave it for a while. Rinse. Repeat.

Judge: Tried everything I can think off. When I first saw the 3ROD, I thought it's just a loose HDD connection, removed it, same problem. So yeah, it's pretty much dead.

well i think it is pretty much dead then..
i'm sorry for you man....

O_o oh god. Now I'm scared.

pass it back to your local gameshop supplier and claim warranty.. but if you can't wait.. you can either pass it to tot31 for reparing services..

Fear not as we have our in-house 3ROD expert

If it's not under warranty anymore, that bladdy thing will be on the operating theater yesterday itself.

Since it's still under warranty, I will have to let Microsoft do their bit and replace it.

Alamak, kena pay 250 for shipping to SG. Sigh.... Anyone free enough to go down to SG?

Come to think about it, the doctor charges are actually cheaper than shipping it back. What do you guys think?

Repair or send it back?

I'd say get it fixed once and for all. Do the x-clamp replacement procedure

Just asking. Where do you keep your xbox? Air-conditioned room or room temperature? Vertical or horizontal?
And what is the longest period you left it on?

It doesn't matter where and how you put your 360 or how well you pampered it, when you are going to be hit by it, you really can't avoid it.
