i did with my first xbox that had the open tray, they told me to send it in for a 150$ repair

im tired of microsoft's bs. ive had a total of 3 xbox's, the first one died due to RROD, second one died to the open tray error, third one just died yesterday to the open tray error. has microsoft released any word on how i can fix it?? or do they just want me to go spend another 200$ on another xbox so it will break. does anybody know how to fix the open tray? ive tried the tapping method over and over again and it still doesn't work,and im not going to open the console because i still have a best buy warranty to get another refurbished one. i really want to get a ps3 but i have so many games for the xbox and i dont have the money :/

well about a year ago around december i bought a Nvidia 9600 GT, installed it, and for about a year it worked perfectly but one day, a month ago, at random my screen started turning blue with red and green rectangles, then the whole screen froze and the sound looped. i researched what was happening and some people said my video card was "artifacting" well over the weeks it got worse now i cant even watch a youtube video, or even play sim city 3000 (best game ever). randomly my screen will turn all black and and the top will flicker with whatever color the screen was, then after about a minute, my screen will turn blue with artifacts all over it, and it will say nv4_disp infinite loop. beginning physical memory dump. physical memory dump complete.

sometimes it will also go to the blue screen and say hardware failure. contact hardware supporter. can anybody help????

(sorry im kind of naive with computers)

MW2 should bow down to bad company 2

best open world game ive played so far :D red dead redemptions gonna beat it though!

(Hijacking a jet, throwing the guy out, then jumping out after him and falling with him,watching him scream and twist is the best part about this game!)

yes...i now know its the video card, i just ran a stability test and for about 2 seconds i got artifacts then the whole screen turned black, the top of the screen was flickering blue, and the sound was looping.

still dont know how to get my psu

Right click on computer and click on properties. Find device manager on the top left VISTA/7. Find and click on display adapter and double click on your graphics card. Click on driver then click on update drivergmaster456

Just updated, still doesnt work :\

Sounds like your video card is artifacting.

Post your system specs, including PSU.

kilerchese

i dont think its that cause i just got a nvidia 9600 GT a few months back. and can ya give me some directions on how to post the specs? (sorry im suck with computers)

Sounds like your video card. Are you running the latest drivers?gmaster456

how would i know if im not?

I have absolutely no clue how this happened. whenever I get on anyone of my games, it loads to the menu,but whenever i get in an actual game, my screen has a bunch of blue rectangular shapes scattered everywhere then the whole game freezes and the only way to shut it down is the power button. before this started (just to give you an example) I downloaded some mod for empire total war, and i downloaded frostwire. can frostwire give your computer some kind of virus that does this?

before i didthese 2 things, all my games worked great. PLS HELP!!!!!!! thanks :D
