Hi guys,

Basically every time I turn on my Xbox 360 Slim, it freezes. It does the Xbox 360 logo animation, and it's about to load up my Dashboard when it happens. This happens every time I turn on my Xbox.

I had just put in my USB stick and moved my profile to my hard drive when it first happened. I was playing music via my Xbox, whilst it was moving my profile and signing me in when it froze, so it might of been a command overflow or something like that.

Whenever I remove my hard drive, it works fine, so it might be my hard drive that's the problem. I have also tried unplugging everything and starting again several times, to no avail.

I contacted Xbox Support and they replied with some crappy automated message about games freezing (even though I clearly stated it froze on start up, no matter what game was in the disc tray.

So, yeah, and any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Has been happning to me for the past month. Has it overheated recently? I have gotten E65 or E79. Also, it can always be a connection between you HDD and console.

It had been on most of the day when it first freezed, but I didn't get any red rings. And could you expand on the HDD part please? I'm kind of a newbie to the technical sides of XBOX's and modding.
Thanks

Ok, so basically if the Hard drive of the slim console isn't fully in, it wil sometimes get this error. Overheating, another big problem. I had mine on for about 8 hours when it froze. Make sure the console is somewhere where air can circulate. Take out the hard drive, blow away dust that maybe trapped in it, and put the hard drive in and make sure it is full connected.

Right, mine was probably on for eight hours or more, I tried fixing it throughout the evening but didn't have any luck. I am away from home this weekend, so I have disconnected everything and left everything on my bed, with windows open etc. Maybe that will help.

the xbox is going to get E-78

Is that RROD?

Oky: Just let it sit. Feel the console, and make sure it's not hot. It took mine 45 minutes to cool down.

Any E-__ is RRoD or an error code.


Sorry kinda didn't multiquote :unsure:
