Fixing a Frozen XBOX 360
Microsoft is famous around the world for developing the Windows computer programs. However bugs in the system and freezing have always been an issue, not only with Windows but also in the Xbox gaming consoles. Even the Xbox 360 that made its debut in 2005 is beset by freezing problems.
Irrespective of the configuration that is bought, owners of the Xbox 360 still experience freezes, in fact, many of them do. Microsoft has responded by launching a system they have revised by installing a newer motherboard. While this has proven rather effective in rectifying heat and noise problems, it has not successfully rectified the freezing problems that continue to plague gamers.
Unlike the freezes that you experience in Windows operating systems, Microsoft isn't really to blame for these inconvenient issues. The main cause of these freezes is purely hardware related and heat is the main culprit. The XBOX 360 is small in size, yet houses many powerful components that get hot really quick if gaming time is extended.
It stands to reason that the only solution is to cool the console down, since its inbuilt cooling system is ineffective during extended use. It is advisable to use it in a room that is air-conditioned, or near to an open door or window. All this can greatly help to reduce or even eliminate the freezing problem.
Freezing will still occur even if you do prevent overheating if the hardware components have been damaged in some way. Three red light errors will let you know if that has occurred. Although this is not a small matter by any means, you can relax, because you will be able to do the repairs yourself if you wish. Of course, if you are not that way inclined, there are professionals, who for quite an expensive fee will do them for you.
Of course deciding to leave the repairs to a professional means that you are saved the effort while ensuring that the repairs will be reliable. But when it comes to your time and your money those are not saved. Even if you are not technically minded yew could still manage thanks to the Xbox 360's repair manuals that are available online.
Certain forums and XBOX 360 gaming communities may also provide assistance in fixing these problems and serve as free alternatives to buying an eBook or paying a professional. Search on online video sites as well for detailed instructions. Do-it-yourself XBOX 360 repairs can take a couple of hours compared to days if you take it elsewhere. So take your pick and make sure you keep your XBOX 360 cool next time to prevent these problems from happening again.
If your XBOX 360 has no records of freezing, your console may experience them in the future if you don't exercise good preventative measures. Either limit your playing time per session or play in a room that won't cause the XBOX 360 to overheat. Exercising this habit should prevent all freezing problems eliminating the need to fix it ever again. - 23806
