im on my 4th 360 and yet again im having problems with it. i start it up fine and it gets anywhere from 2-5 minutes before it freezes up. it just all of a sudden freezes on a frame. about half the time the screen becomes like checkerboard with half the squares red and half of them the frame that it froze on. then everytime u turn it on after that it does the same thing(if its within a short amount of time). but if i leave it alone for an hour or so sometimes it will work fine for hours on end. what the hell is going on and should i contact microsoft since it doesnt involve the rrod?

Sounds like the graphics card is packing up - call MS who will probably tell you to return it for repairs.

Ive had my 360 for about 6 months now and nothing fatal has happened. Everytime I turn it on it makes a revving sound like a mini V8 engine, but it doesnt seem to affect it too badly. A few of my games have frozen but not very often. When I was playing Hitman Blood Money the other day i took the disk out and it kept running. It took a few minutes to figure out what happened then said the disk could not be read. How do you start a forum? I cant start a forum to ask people how to start a forum!!!
