360 Runs load and overheats rapidly causing freeze and crash.

NICKYG123ABC · Apr 25, 2016

I have the Halo Reach edition xbox 360 and recently it has been running really loud and (im assuming the fan) and gets really hot within a few minutes, after 15 minutes or so the game will freeze and crash unable to open the home button or even shut it off
via the power, i have to unplug it completely and restart it to get it to work again. I have been able in the past to have a standing fan beside it pointing at it to prevent the crashing but it still gets very hot and runs loud. Is there anything i can do
to fix this or will i have to purchase a new 360?

:)

GlassesUSA.com Ad

GlassesUSA.com ad freezes the screens for Sudoku and Jigsaw. This ad makes it extremely frustrating to try to solve the puzzles! In addition, it causes my computer drive to run without stopping causing it to begin to overheat! This ad needs to either be
taken down or it needs to be repaired so as not to freeze screens!

Xbox overheats and freezes

In other words, you'll probably have to pay a good sum of cash for an issue that most likely isn't your fault. Welcome to the world of Xbox.

No; You'll need to have it serviced, though I'm not sure if Microsoft still services any 360 consoles. Of course there's a few DIY methods but nothing I can officially recommend :v

You can't service anything inside the Xbox 360 console yourself.

If you wish to get the console serviced, you need to sign it up for repairs here.

It could also be that the game is buggy in places. That can cause your Xbox 360 to crash and freeze.

Are you running mods? If there are mods running and are in a bad load order that can cause it to freeze. Not sure if that's your problem.

G'day Ralcos! It sounds like you're experiencing issues with more than just Dead Rising 2, is that right? Are all of those games downloaded from the Marketplace, or do you see any similar issues with disc-based games?

Let's start off by running through the steps in the
Screen Freeze guide. It can help us narrow down the possibilities of what's causing these crashing problems, and the loading screen on DR2. Let us know what steps you try, and the results you get. We'll keep going from there. =)
