Mine is plugged in to a $100.00 Monster power supply, and its resting on carpet, and I have had no problems.

Except with Forza 2 :roll:

:shock:

Mine didn't freeze that much, but it did straight up die.

It was plugged into a surge protector, but even when I put it into the wall it didn't start working again as the post suggests. Probably because it was too dead.

I've heard though that the power brick itself actually offers surge protection which could be why it's screwing up in surge protectors. So once I get my 360 back I'm definitly putting it straight into the wall.

I live in hope that it died because of this and not because of crappy hardware :cry: PLEASE LET IT BE BECAUSE OF THE SURGE PROTECTOR!!!

I have mineplugged into a surge protector and thats plugged into a surge protector.

No problem.

Even if your 360 is fine you're really not supposed to link them together like that.

How about quit playing your system 24 hours a day 7 days a week and invest in a girlfriend. That could be the problem for some of my fellow lemmingsPoppaLemming

no i played my 360 maybe 30 minutes a week for a year, ive had it 18 months and my gamerscore is only 400. but my 360 still crashed. and i know it's not due to over playing.

I heard playing it may cause three red lights as well.LOKI-RA

haha,LOL!!
Still cmon that console has good games noone can deny that!! I appreciate good games.

I just plugged mine into the wall...-Sora

ROFL :lol:

How does a surge protector ruin your system? Isn't a surge protector supposed to prevent power surges or the like?

Well I have mine hooked up to one, but I'd be lieing if I said my 360 never had any problems. Though, I'm pretty sure moving my 360 to the living room and plugging it in my 3 pronged wall plug would help it. I have all my systems and connections on my surge protector, also all of them have never had a problem. Just my 360 with the Red Lights and GC were the only systems to die on me.

This is the best way to keep ur xbox360 working perfect without problems, remember that it needs to take off all the hot air from the 4 sides of the console, same with the power supply. sorry my pic are crappy and i using legos for that :lol:.
