logitechdog Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 this is what you get from support.... Dear , There is some basic troubleshooting that you can try in order to resolve the issue. I have placed here blow a list of various steps that you can try on your console XBox 360: Please try the following - 1. Restart the console. 2. Consider whether the issue has occurred more than one time. If this is the first time that you have experienced this behaviour, the issue may not occur again, and troubleshooting may be unnecessary. 3. Determine whether the Xbox 360 console is well-ventilated and is not near a heat source. * If the Xbox 360 console is in a poorly ventilated location, turn off the console, and then move it to a location that has sufficient ventilation, such as on top of a table or on an open shelf. If the issue is resolved, the previous location likely did not provide sufficient ventilation for the Xbox 360 console to function correctly. * Heat sources include TVs, computers, monitors, and other electrical devices. Switch off the console and move it away from the heat source, or switch off the heat source and move it away from the console. * View the Xbox 360 instruction manual for information about correct placement of the console. 4. Turn off the system, and then remove all the accessories that are attached. This includes the Xbox Hard Drive. Test to see whether the problem still occurs. 5. If the issue does not occur when the hard drive is detached, try clearing the Xbox 360 Hard Drive cache. With the Xbox 360 Hard Drive attached to the console, follow these steps: a. Locate the System section of the Xbox 360 Dashboard. b. Select Memory, select Hard Drive, and then press Y to view the device options screen. c. On the Xbox 360 Controller, press the X button, press the X button again, press the left bumper, press the right bumper, press the X button, and then press the X button again. d. You will be prompted to confirm system maintenance, select Yes by pressing A. 6. If this problem occurs with the hard drive attached and clearing the cache did not resolve the issue, create a new gamer profile, and then test to see whether the issue still occurs. If the issue does not occur when you use a new gamer profile, the issue may be related to the original gamer profile or saved game information for one or more games that are associated with the original gamer profile. To verify this, delete the saved games for all games that show this problem for the original gamer profile. 7. If the problem only occurs with games when you are play online with Xbox Live, this issue could be related to Internet connectivity. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 909817 (http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/909817/) You experience poor performance on Xbox Live whether you use an Xbox 360 console or an original Xbox console 8. If your console is a PAL console, try setting your PAL setting to PAL 60. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the microsoft Knowledge Base: 917304 (http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/917304/) Xbox 360: Your Xbox 360 console is set to PAL 50 Hz and you cannot play an Xbox 360 game on your console 9. Determine whether the disc that you are using is the cause of the issue by testing several similar Xbox 360-compatible discs in the console. Use a disc of the same type, such as a game disc, a DVD movie, or a music CD, to test whether the problem is the specific disc. 10. For disc-specific issues, check the disc for any visible signs of damage or dirt. Hold the disc by the edges without touching the top or bottom surface with your fingers. Clean the disc by using a soft cloth. Lightly wipe from the centre outwards. Do not use solvents or chemicals to clean the disc. If this problem occurs with only one disc and cleaning the disc did not resolve the issue, search the Microsoft Knowledge Base to determine whether the particular disc has any known issues, and then go to step 11. If there are no known issues, exchange the disc at a retail location. If none of this has worked please collect the following information: Which version of the XB360 do you have (Elite/ Premium / Core)? When was the console purchased? What type of storage media is being used (Memory Card / HDD)? Which resolution are you playing the game at? What type of AV cable is being used? What was being done when the game froze? Is your XB360 signed in to XBOX Live? Kind regards Rockstar Technical Support Team by way guy who got this said didn't work after it but hell, never know what the problem could be, other than pointing at R* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
