Clearly a software problem.

I am facing a really annoying problem on my xbox 360 wireless controller. Whenever I'm playing some games, the wireless controller randomly shuts down. Now, you may say it's a battery or signal problem. But i made enough tests to prove it is not power source
or interference. Here is what i found:

• The problem does not happen on the xbox dashboard. I keep pressing all the buttons randomly for many minutes and it does not shuts down a single time. (witch also removes the possibility of being a mechanic problem on the buttons.)
  
• It only happens during gameplay. It started on skyrim, and now its on battlefield 3 and others.
  
• As example, during skyrim gameplay, the controller only shuts down whenever i attack enemies or they attack me. Now this is where it gets weird: If I'm out of "boss" combats the controller works perfectly. If i attack rabbits and stuff its fine. if i just
  walk on cities and talk to people it's ok. But when i am in mission combats, the problem occurs. (Again, i press al the buttons to make sure its not mechanical problem)
  
• This problem also happens in other games as i said, but with different characteristics. In battlefield 3 i couldn't find a pattern of events that cause the turn off.
  
• Another strange thing is that in a few games it works perfectly. (Minecraft for example)
  

Other usefull information:

• Controller Vibration is off.
• I tried set ups like, new batteries, cable attached and battery, no battery only cable. Same thing.
  

I hope i could describe the problem as clearly as possible. I really wish i could play my games normally once again. If you guys now something about it please help. Thank you.

HDD Unformatted

The updates broke my HDD Oman. i imagine it was a connection problem during the update.

It came with the Xbox as the Pro pack. 60 gig HDD.

Hardware fault? It's clearly a software fault.

 

Fix Games on Demand Forza Horizon

The software does not work so clearly the license agreement is violated.

 

Are you positive vibration is turned off? I'm not trying to call you an idiot or anything but the vibration motors eat up a lot of battery and that used to happen to me a lot with poor quality batteries.

 

I am having the same problem, I noticed it when playing halo reach and again with Diablo III I know these controllers are really good quality and the batteries are decent rechargeable ones as well
