If you got the warranty just bring it back, if not send it back to Microsoft.

yeah i got that error and shortly after that i got the 3 rings of death. so yeah probably in a couple days your system will die.

on the bright side it didn't take long to fix my 360...they sent me the box on july 16 and i got it about 3 days later then sent it back and i got an email today that they are shipping it back to me. so it took like two weeks total. all i have to do is wait like 3 days for it to come back.

Don't freak out man that was actually the only type of red lights I ever had when all 3 of my systems failed on me. The M$ rep is gonna tell you to remove the harddrive or memory card and turn it back on. When that doesn't work then he's just gonna tell you to get ready to ship the sucker back home to Washington. Its usually related to the GPU f'in up on ya and/or the dvd drive malfunctioning. I had both those issues (drive would randomly respond and artifact issues), but thankfully all 3 times only took either 1 week (including shipping of the box) or 2 weeks to get it back to me.

thanks to camian69, i found out that it from my nyko intercooler that was making the problem.

"E68: Voltage Error... This error means that the Xbox 360 has insufficent power to function properly. This can be caused by an error in the hard drive or the fans that make them suck up too much power, it can also be caused if you have unnecessary accessories attached to the console like an external fan unit. Attempt to remove unnecessary accessories first, and then necessary components such as the hard drive and USB devices. If you have any case mods you may want to investigate those as well."

thanks camian69

E68: Hard Drive Error... It could be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing without it, This can also be caused by a Hard Drive Eprom Error. Some also believe this might be caused by a problem with the fans.

I have had that warning on my reg xbox before it died. Not positive it was E68, but reather sure. Same looking screen as well. It was a hardware error (the hard drive to be exact.) So it could very well be that.

Dude, its your hard drive, its corrupt, try taking it out and starting your 360, it should work fine, exept u cant save anything or connect to xbox live or save, etc. Just use your memory unit until you can buy a new HDD

Don't bump 7 month old threads. I'm sure the user has resolved the issue if he hasn't brought it up in that time.
