Xbox 360 freezing problems, not RROD.?

Posted by admin On August - 28 - 2010

My xbox 360 is out of warranty, and has had the RROD once, which was sent off and repaired. However, now whenever i play a game it freezes within a few minutes of playing, but there is no red ring. If i phone microsoft to see about getting it repaired, should i tell them i have the RROD once and now it just freezes without the red ring? Would they replace it for free, or would i need to pay to have it fixed?
I have done everything to try to fix it myself, short of opening it up. So i think sending it off is the only solution now. Oh, and Ouch! I own both a PS3 and an xbox 360, so stop being a ignorant fanboy!

try this

Dashboard / System Settings / Memory / Press Y / Then While on memory / type in x x rb lb x x / this will perform maintence on your xbox hard drive , which is the main problem when it comes to freezing.

it deletes any corrupt files on your hard drive

.RROD is probably not far off .And xbox will fix it for 19.99 even after warranty expires.So they claim.

My Xbox has just got the RROD (Red Rings of Death) and I just sent it off, If it has had the RROD you should defernatly tell them as it might still come under the three year RROD warrenty. It could also be the game, I had a game which froz so I got it replaced and then started the game again and it worked fine, but you have prob played different games and they all do the same thing.

Def ring them and tell them what is happening, They might even give you trouble problem shooting.

In my opinion I would never buy Microsoft products again. The Xbox 360 is the best and I love it but they have plenty of trouble.

Good Luck
