Hi,had my 360 since launch,had 3 red lights yesterday on startup,turned off,then ok this time,played a min into gears of war and the game just froze! Just tried cod3 same thing,is it dying? I hope not,it's not like i play it to death either! Had been fine until yesterday by the way,and no red lights when it freezes.

Just realised,i had just done the new update,could that be it?

If you have a intercooler fitted i doubt that its getting hot..
I hope its not on its way out man..

I get a occassionally error with my 2nd 360.. I find if i muck around with the HardDrive it seems to fix it.. DOA666 from 360-hq shit himself when he turned it on and all the red lights were going..

Personally i would leave your 360 on for a few hrs to see if it is going to overheat.. . No doubt its under warranty still so i would try to make it crash and then get it sent back under warranty.

anyway, let us know how you go... Hopefully your probs go away..

enjoy 360-HQ

It was a launch day 360,and i've opened it to see if it was full of dog hair or dust! Had it on last night,just to stream music and video from pc and no probs,it's going to be when i try cod3 or gow again that it freezes again i bet.

Lo everclear, I see you have the intercooler running. Can you unplug the intercooler and try playing COD3 or GRAW without that running and let us know how you get on?

If its the NYKO intercooler there have been reports of this screwing up Xboxs', so give the above a go and let us know how you get on. Smile And note any 'hot' marks on your console where the intercooler was.

If your up for it everclear you can try and get a bit for specific with your error? Not sure if you know about this but give it a shot to try and find a solution.

But first you my want to do this. Switch off you console and remove the HD and then power up again and see if the lights go out. If so you know the HD is faulty, also unplug all your leads and reattach them to make sure everything is a ok.

If that does not help try the following:

    * Turn the xbox 360 on, and wait till the 3 red lights are flashing.
    * Press and hold the sync up button (the small white one), while holding that button press the eject button.
    * The LEDs will now blink the first number in the code (as described below).
    * Release the eject button and press it again.
    * The LEDs will now blink the second number of the code.
    * Release the eject button and press it again.
    * The LEDs will now blink the third number of the code.
    * Release the eject button and press it again.
    * The LEDs will now blink the forth number of the code.
    * Release the eject button and press it again.
    * The LEDs will go back to the 3 red flashing lights.

You should be able to determine the difference between the 3 flashing lights and the error code lights by the rate in which they flash.

Here is how you interpret the LEDs to get the code number:
    * All four lights flashing - 0
    * One light flashing - 1
    * Two Lights flashing - 2
    * Three lights flashing - 3

0001 power supply problem

0002 Network Interface problem

0003 (not yet known)

0010 over heating

0011 over heating - If you are recieving this error after dissassembling your console make sure to all 8 of the heatsync screws are tightened securely to the board/heatsink holes.

0012 over heating

0013 over heating

0020 (Not yet known, possibly overheating)

0021 DVD Drive Time out - Can be caused by problems with a firmware flash. This is also speculated to sometime be caused by a problem with the southbridge chipset on the motherboard.

0022 GPU Error / GPU Overheating

0023 (not yet known)

...
0101 (not yet known)

0102 unknown error - though it's most likely GPU related literally means the console does not know what is wrong. possibly a short or cold solder joint somewhere. So far there is 1 major theory for what causes most of these errors is that the Ram, CPU, or GPU are not soldered properly to the mother board due either to poor manufacturing or excessive heat up and cool down cycles that stress, weaken and eventually break the soldered connection. This can be solved by re-Heating the chips DO NOT attempt this if your console is still under warranty. If your console is still under warranty return it to the store where it was purchased or call MS to have it replaced. I have also heard of limited success by simply switching the AV cable from "HDTV" mode to "TV" mode.

0103 (not yet known)

0110 Memory Error / Memory Overheating - see solution for error 0102
...
0200 (not yet known)
...
1000 (not yet known)

1001 (not yet known)

1002 (not yet known)

1003 Hard Drive Error... It could be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing without it

1010 Hard Drive Error, Can be caused buy a currupt or missing Eprom.

1011 (not yet known)

1012 (not yet known)

1013 (not yet known) possibly a dashboard update error

1020 (not yet known)

1021 (not yet known)

1022 AV cable error... There is a problem with the AV cable, try using a different AV cable. (could also be a problem with the encoder chip)

1023 (not yet known)
1030 (not yet known)
1031 (not yet known)
1032 (not yet known)
1033 (not yet known)
