Didn't this also happen at last year's GDC? Twice? Floppy_Jim

Well i think only once...or was it twice? anyway i know it did :P

So does this mean the jasper didn't fix anything? Al3x_n90

2 rings means it's overheating. In the glass box, lol bad idea!EuropeGangsta

:? that box isn't actualy a box, it doesn't have glass at the back, i think

So does this mean the jasper didn't fix anything?Grrr if my 360 gets the RROD again i'll....(it's out of waranty) Al3x_n90

No, you're fine...actually i got reported and suspeded for a couple of days because i quoated somebody and said "^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^" as in "what he said" and that was considered disruptive posting and my level went down AGAIN from 17 to 15.Now it'll probably get back up at 17 or something.Actually i think i've been a member of gs longer than you(i think, too lazy to check your profile) and i was once level 20, so imagine how much i got moded :evil:

Anyway, i thought jasper was really gonna do something, but really now, at a game show?

Guess what....MS hasnt fixed anything at all with jasper or any other "code name" chip. They WILL NOT fix the 360 so everyone quit expecting it...sorry

Whats embarressing is all the people in this thread and the one linked that actually think this is RROD.TOAO_Cyrus1

[QUOTE="MasterY_28"][QUOTE="delta3074"]RROD is 3 red lights, that console has 2 which means it's just overheating, not a general hardware failure, hence your thread fails.TOAO_Cyrus1

i actually tried blocking the vents on my old pc to see what happens, with a Gigabyte motherboard(they put out way more heat than others) it didn't shut down, sadly.My 360 froze up on me a about 3 times(i think) and it was in a very well ventilated place, my ps3 never did that dough, even dough since about 4 months ago i had it standing on top of a big SD tv, and the flat part of the tv(lol) was not as wide as my ps3, so it's rear little legs thingys(lol) were in the air and the rear section of my ps3 was fllat on the tv.

And i know that isn't the RROD but that's the name those lights have...or do you want 1/2RROD? anyways those things can lead to a RROD or other problems :? never had the 1/2rrod lol, just 2 rrods, no warnings :(

Whats embarressing is all the people in this thread and the one linked that actually think this is RROD.TOAO_Cyrus1

I know this is not RROD

But Sony, Nintendo, or Microsoft should take care that nothing happens to the consoles at a game show regardless it is RROD, YLOD, overheating...

[QUOTE="TOAO_Cyrus1"][QUOTE="MasterY_28"] Still made the console shut down. What a piece of cheap hardware. HALO Wars really looks ugly btw!Al3x_n90

RROD means red ring of death, not anyd red light code, I dont see any dead console there.

The error codes can mean allot of things, one of the most common is 4 lights which just means the A/V cable became disconnected and allot of people mistake that for RROD which is actually just 3 lights. Overheating isnt the direct cuase of RROD, there is no pattern of overheating and then failure that I know of. Most people just get it randomly. Remember this error code just means that the internal tempeture is too high, not that one of the chips actually overheated. Most PC BIOS's shut down only when the CPU overheats, not when the internal temp gets hot, running prime95 or some other torture test might do it.

[QUOTE="Al3x_n90"][QUOTE="TOAO_Cyrus1"] I can make any console or PC do that, just block the vents and it will shut down automatically to prevent damage. Its just the 360 that has those obvious blinking lights.TOAO_Cyrus1

For your PC you would have to do it long enough to get the CPU to overheat, running prime95 or some other torture test might do it.

Yes if the fans stop working but not if the internal temp gets hot, you have to actually overheat the CPU to make it shut down.TOAO_Cyrus1

[QUOTE="TOAO_Cyrus1"][QUOTE="delta3074"]its always the GPU overheating that causes th 360 to shut down, not the CPU, my main point is that RROD being caused by overheating is a myth, it's the rapid cool down that does the damage.delta3074

[QUOTE="McdonaIdsGuy"][QUOTE="TOAO_Cyrus1"]Whats embarressing is all the people in this thread and the one linked that actually think this is RROD.MasterY_28

Now I'm not trying to defend teh 360 here, but any electronic device can overheat if you put it in a small closed space.

Even PS3.

What I don't understand is why they still do this when they demo consoles.

Why not put them somewhere in the back with lots of space to breath.

Failure rate is only 33%, so when one breaks out of many it's shocking indeed. Somehow people on these forums think games consoles are prone to overheating.EuropeGangsta

Beeeeeeeeeeeep. Sarcasm detecter overloaded.

Seriously though: the failure rate is way too high, but can we stop throwing out numbers that are pulled out of thin air.
