360 locking up...

[Dingleberry88]

So I've had my 360 for a few months and it's been working flawlessly, but the other day it just froze. No RLOD, the screen just froze and the only way to get out of it is to power it off.

I can turn it back on straight away and play for a while, but it'll freeze again.

I immediately though it was overheating, but the locking up isn't consistent. Sometimes it'll take 3 minutes, sometimes 30.


Any ideas?

I found hovering the power supply made it crash less.

I've read about the power supply overheating - mine barely even gets warm though...

'Kin great.

What about my hard drive with all my saves on? They're gonna want that back too. And I'll have to make a special journey to take it back.

Could I just call Microsoft, explain I want to keep the HDD, and get them to pick it up for a replacement?
