Quick Fix for Your Faulty 360?
Some people have not been able to enjoy their games as their console keeps crashing every ten minutes or so. Now a GameSpot forum member claims he has come up with a simple yet effective solution for the problem.
“My 360 was crashing a lot (like once every 20 minutes). So I took the power supply off the ground and suspended it in the air with some string. I have been playing for about 3 hours straight and no crashes so far!
EDIT: I found an easier way to do this. I got a box with no cover and put the power supply on the edges.”?
The main idea seems to be to get all four sides of the power supply in open air to help it cool. We have not been able to test this ourselves as one would need a faulty Xbox 360 to do so, but if any of you have problems with your 360 crashing give it a try and let us know if it helped.
However if this turns out to really work we still suggest you call 1-800-4MY-XBOX and ask for a new power supply.
