Xbox 360/Halo 3 Help
Posted: Tue Oct 02, 2007 4:57 pm
I've been having problems playing Halo 3 on the Xbox 360. First, I've had my xbox for more than two years. I've never had a problem with it, no freezing, no red rings, no slowing of the system, nothing.
I was home when I recieved Halo 3 Legendary Edition in the mail. I placed it in the xbox, which had been off for the whole day. I played a fifteen minute game of Forge and about ten minutes worth of Co-Op when it went to a blank screen. I restarted my xbox and it began to freeze, starting with five minutes after turning on the xbox which then grew to about one minute after power to the box. When it would freeze, these static bars would appear across the screen. My xbox would occasionally get the Red Lights of Death/Doom/Shit after a restart.
I called support, they're gonna repair it, etc, etc. I rented an xbox and played Halo. It played successfully. The xbox was on for about two hours in a well ventilated room and was not hot, but was warm. The following day it began freezing just like my old xbox except it was only a screen freeze, no static bars. I've tried two seperate copies of Halo 3, I've tried it with a hard drive, without. I've tried it with different cables, different TV's and I don't know what the problem could be. If anyone has any idea, can you please tell me. When I get my repaired xbox, I'm going to buy a fan to help keep it cool just in case. Man this has sucked, again, any help I appreciate. If this is in the wrong section for whatever reason can a moderater please move it? Thanks.
