I dunno whats going on with my xbox. Yesterday I was playing cod4 with my friend and my xbox froze and the screen became all distorted and it was giving off a weird static sound. Later that day I played NHL 08 for about half hour and it was fine. Today I started up cod4 again and it froze again. Tried again, froze again. Tried once more, same thing. So I thought maybe my cod4 was messed up and I had to get a new one. So I put in halo 3 and played two matches. On the third match it froze just like on cod4. Whats going on? Are my games messed up, or is it the system? If its the system this is the third time I'm going to have to send it in.

That could be a couple of things. Sadly, it could be a precursor to rrod, in which case i'm sorry for your loss. IT could just be a cache issue. Sometimes the cache of the 360 needs to be cleared, it happened to me a couple of times with mass effect. Also, if the ventilation is poor, that can cause it to freeze. Hope this helps a bit.

These look like symptoms of a RRoD. I had several of my games freeze then out of nowhere when i turned it on after several days of freezes it gave me a RRoD.

Yup, I would also let Microsoft know that it was sent from them like that, hopefully they wont try to nickel and dime you for it.

Please use the Broken-360 tech sticky. Also, please don't bump old threads. Thanks.
