Well about 2 weeks ago, i was playing Madden on xbox live and my xbox froze. All it did was make no noise and keep a solid screen. Now its doing it almost every 2 Hrs or so. Im wondering if the RRoD is coming soon. If anyone can help id appreciate it.
This also sucks because its happening right before Madden 09 comes out. This could also just be my COD4 disc maybe. Its happened like 4 times on COD, 2 times on Guitar Hero, and once on Madden.
Yes, it's a sign that the heat is warping the motherboard and disconnecting the GPU or CPU from the motherboard. When this disconnect occurs, that's when your 360 freezes. When you turn off your 360, the chips cool and the pins connecting the CPU/GPU with the motherboard reconnect, but when you turn it on, they disconnect again after a while because of the heat. It's only a matter of time until the pins disconnect permanantly and you get the RROD. Just send it in now and say you already have the RROD.
Yeah, its inevitable. Don't worry about missing Madden though. Even if this year's edition does have prettier graphics and more improved features than any other version, it is still the same game you have been playing for years. Pop-in your old PS2 version and save $60.
I periodically have freeze-ups but I've not gotten the RRoD. I looked online and apparently if you hold A until your gamertag pops up it's supposed to clear a system cache or something. It's cleared up problems I've had with Oblivion.
But a RRoD doesn't affect the harddrive, right? I wouldn't fret too much as long as you have all your data.
thanks for all the feed back. I called them and they told me to put in a code. I did and am playing now to see if it gets fixed. Hasnt freezed yet, which is good.
I mite just wait til' it gets it, and try and finish madden games.
