    Xbox 360 won't launch applications or games. result black screen.


    I tried to launch games off the disc and hard drive, and applications such as netflix. all actions lead to the same response, a black screen.

    i can bring up the mini menu by pressing the center button on my controller but can not return to the main menu using the y button or xbox freezes.

    xbox can be turned off from mini menu while in black screen state.

    :)

    XBLA connection breaks all games and apps

    Just figured you might want to know this Microsoft: but as of today no application or game will work on my 360 so long as it is connected to Xbox live. The result of any attempt to start a game or app on my console is a permanent black screen, and any
    attempt to return to the dashboard results in a freeze and requires hard reset of the console. Removing the internet connection so that the console cannot reach xbox live renders everything playable again.

    That's kind of an issue.

    Dirt showdown isn't launching correctly

    Game worked the first time I tried but had horrible frame rate and crashed the xbone to a black screen after 5 races) requiring manual system restart. After that, game froze on infinite "Xbox 360" logo screen and fame never launched. Did uninstall/reinstall
    same result. Hard reset system (all the steps with leaving it unplugged for two minutes, etc)- game still freezes at Xbox 360 screen. All other games (including other backwards comp titles) working fine.

    Xbox still loud even after install?

    My game won't load at all. I end up at a black screen and if I try to turn my xbox on with the game in tray, it gets stuck at the 360 logo intro screen. Defective copy?

    Netflix App not launching (not a connection issue)

    Attempted the above.

    I don't have an option to quit Netflix, I think its because it doesn't actually launch it. Tried to mess with it again today, no success.

    It does work on my laptop and on my 360, but not my Xbox one.

    I saw something in the service status saying that there are some issues with applications and games going to a black screen, don't know if its related. Its not exactly the same thing I'm experiencing.
