360 was working perfectly yesterday....
Today, it keeps freezing up...
...go to XBL for a little GRAW, it freezes up, usually before I can even select a weapon.
...go to XBL for some PDZ co-op, freezes up right before mission starts.
...try GRAW single player mission, freezes right before the mission starts.
...DVDs seem to play OK; I'm about 15 minutes into a movie without problems.
... I tried turning off the unit and letting it cool down... no joy.
Any ideas???????????????? _________________________________________________________ The World's Most Awesome Xbox 360 Room

How long is the warranty on U.S. Xbox 360s????
BTW, it played through the entire movie no problems... about 2 hours. _________________________________________________________ The World's Most Awesome Xbox 360 Room

The warranty is 3 months for the U.S. Xbox 360s, that sucks if you ask me. _________________________________________________________ Xbox V1.3

REALLY???? Only 3 months?!?!? That DOES suck! I figured it was 6 months, which would be expired anyway.
So what is the consensus? To use my best Battlestar Gallactese, is my 360 FRACKED???? _________________________________________________________ The World's Most Awesome Xbox 360 Room

Isn't that terrible, a year would be more reasonable. I can't figure out why your 360 only freezes with games and not movies. Give me some good news and tell me that it stopped doing that, good luck Porsche. _________________________________________________________ Xbox V1.3

I think "a day a dollar" would be fairer.... $400 Xbox 360? 400 day warranty.
Slightly less worse news... I just tried it again (Coffee plantation, XBL co-op mission, only myself playing)... this time I was able to select a weapon and RUN almost past the buildings at the start point before it froze... it seems to only freeze once the mission starts to get underway, not before. _________________________________________________________ The World's Most Awesome Xbox 360 Room

More details on the freezing up... the video freezes, no sound... there are several (about 30) vertical dotted lines... sometimes a few of the rows will move down the screen like falling snowflakes.

Looks like your gpu is overheating, if you haven't opened it I guess it's time to and replace the thermal paste with some good stuff like artic silver. _________________________________________________________
