My Xbox 360 Keeps Freezing Up – What Do I Do?

admin — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 00:48:43 +0000

If your Xbox 360 keeps freezing up you do have a few options to fix this problem that you can do yourself. Xbox 360 freezing problems exist for many users in fact Microsoft suggests about one third of all gaming consoles have these problems. The primary reason for your Xbox 360 to keep freezing up is the overheating of the system. The Xbox 360 is very busy on the inside while gaming is taking place. Inside the console it is packed full of busy components that become heated and at times overheated.

When you first experience you Xbox 360 freezing due to overheating you should first place the Xbox near a window or a door. Your Xbox is not designed with the best internal cooling systems and sometimes you need to take this step. This is one of the most common problems and placing it near a window is one of the easiest ways to cool the system down. Although I confess many more errors can exist within the Xbox 360.

The second reason for your Xbox 360 keeps freezing up cold be an internal hardware problem. Your Xbox lets you know that is having a hardware problem by displaying three red lights. This is commonly known as the Rings of Death. This matter is more serious and needs fast attention. Microsoft would love to have you send in the gaming console to them so they can charge you while you wait six weeks for it to be fixed. The truth is you can fix your Xbox 360 yourself with a simple guide and can have the problem solved in about an hour.

Xbox X Clamps Fix

When considering an xbox x clamp fix I believe you have two main options

A full xbox clamp fix – Take xbox box and motherboard apart remove, x clamps, and heatsinks, replace x clamps with new screws and washers, clean up old thermal paste and replace with new, rebuild, heat and allow to reset.
Semi xbox x clamp fix or xbox penny fix as it’s otherwise known – rather than removing those pesky x clamps – pad them with pennies insulated in electrical tape – this prevents the x clamps bending as they get hot, and MIGHT solve your problem.

For my first experience of an xbox x clamp fix, I opted for option 1, but this was mainly because I’ve got a mate who fixes xbox for money, and he’d given me the screws, washes and thermal paste ready for such an time as I’d need them.
But because he was away when my xbox 360 RROD’d (red rings of death), I bought a xbox x clamp fix repair guide to follow, which at the time cost me $30, but was super easy to follow, and got me xboxing again in under 2 hours.

However since loosing my xbox 360 repair “cherry”, I’ve since helped Steve repair a small number of xbox’s for mates, and have tried the other xbox x clamp fix method as a first step repair, with the intention of moving on to the better and permanent method 1 fix if method 2 failed.

However so far method 2 above has worked real well – though I’ve probably been lucky that the consoles I’ve worked on have not been TOTALLY cooked.

Any how If your not confident taking the lid off your xbox (and your out of warranty) and don’t want to wait for it to be sent to Microsoft for repair.

I would suggest following a how fix xbox repair guide, as their all video based step by step instructions are really easy to follow, and require no special tools.

I’ve reviewed the best xbox fix /xbox x clamp fix here, and they all come with money back 60 day guarantees.

So if your not xboxing within a couple of hours claim your money back.

I’ll make special mention of the “value” guide simply because at $13 bucks it’s by far the cheapest. However that’s because it’s not professionally filmed; simply a collection of the best video’s the author has found on the net, cobbled together with his own pdf guide, which adds expert comment to the video’s.

However if you’re not bothered by the presentation, the information is sound, and the price attractive. check it out here.

Anyway, please let me know how you get on.
Happy gaming

Richard.
