Red ring of death

**VictoryAkara** · 09-12-2009, 11:51 PM

Well, Anyways the console gave me this earlier, however it was only once

However, the last few days the games have been freezing up randomly and sometimes even on the startup freezing at the xbox logo screen. I was wondering if this is indeed the ring of death XD.

no. rrod is when you cant get on any games/dashboard. it'll just give u red ring and an error message every time

Then why nthe fuck does it keep freezing? It's freezing like mad, the last 2 games I've burnt and tried to play it lets it play for a little and freezes.
u.u; Then again, I need to just see if its only the 2 games sadly thats the only ones I've tested thus far. I'll see if some of the others work if so, it could be the fact that I was playing videos with WMplayer while it burnt with imgburn [which at first it says it needs to lock it or someshit xD; I dunno it's weird]

1) maybe u downloaded a bad copy.
2) i noticed using hdmi cables makes lag
3) installing games to hd causes less lag, but dunno if you can with the illegal stuff. i dont do it

None of my friends have a flashed xbox 360 D:

edit: Well Finally went to test it and guess what?

Now it gives me rings of death every restart, I might try again in a few hours but I doubt it will work.

Time to buy a new xbox and swap cases and return this one XD.

unlucky, mine has lasted over year w/o rrod but well if i play at work days i mostly play 1hr a day and when i play at weekends then sometimes for few hours not more that might be the reason it hasnt overheated yet

i call lag everything. my own xbox was "freezing" when i used hdmi cables. i just put in the wires that came with the xbox now, bcuz i bough tthe hdmi off ebay. now it works perfectly. the freezing was random and nobody else was getting it when i played. and it was while playing halo.

p.s. some RRoD can be fixed just by following the instructions on the xbox support. I've gotten rrod twice, but it was as simple as unplugging my power cables for a while then putting it back in

I've had the xbox since March of last year. XD

I hardly even played mine however.

@Kung

Can you paste some of their fixes?

when you get rrod and get the error message, you have to look for the error number, thats what you look for.

E74 for example is the worst RRoD error number u can get.
