Guess what happened to me today?

rrod.jpg

Well I join those who have received RRoD's. I was hoping to be a lucky one but not this time. I hope my time with customer service won't be that bad even though I know it might be from the stories I've heard. I just wish the 360 was as reliable as my old Xbox. That thing was/is rock solid. Well almost. I think it might need a new HDD.

Wrap it up in a towel, see what happens.

DO NOT DO THIS!

If you do this you will likely make things worse and kiss your warranty goodbye for sure. Just send it back to MS and they will repair it. I heard they are shipping Opus motherboards now which is basically the falcon chipset but without the HDMI (if that what you send in)

So 65mn CPU & 90GPU which equals to less heat and hopefully no chance of it RLOD again.

My original 360 just died the other day and got it picked up yesterday by UPS and i am hoping i get one this improved boards back aswell.

Oh believe me I would never be that stupid to do that. I mess with computers alot and I know that cutting off air flow would be much much worse.

I hope I do get the new boards. That would make me feel like I was right for spending the money on the console in the first place even after whats happened now.

Is that an iPod dock on the right?

Its not my photo. I grabbed it off of Google Images because of what the picture had on it. I thought it was hilarious. :)

I think both consoles look great and have great games, so I'm not a PS3 fanboy, in fact I think there is really no difference between them. Except for the RROD. That was the deciding factor for me getting a PS3. I live overseas, and the potential hassle of a RROD just wasn't worth it.

Dude, I'm sorry for your loss.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By sphbecker · Posted

      Close, but it is for any application starting, not just during boot time. In fact, it probably will not improve boot time at all because during a boot, the CPU is already boosting, so a pre-boost wouldn't change anything. I agree that it isn't exciting (especially considering every other OS already does it), but it is a good thing, even if they are just playing catch up.

      Any so called performance increase will be in milliseconds, which nobody will actually notice in real world usage.

      All it does is use the CPU more efficiently during boot to speed up boot times. That's it. Yawn....

      It's not a one or the other kind of thing. Software should run efficiently, and the operating system should appropriately manage the CPU clocks. You could have the best most optimized software on earth, and it will still run faster if the CPU does a better job of boosting as needed. All this is doing is pre-boosting the CPU based on user actions, instead of waiting for the normal detection mechanism to kick in. If the OS knows it is about to need more CPU, why shouldn't it use that knowledge? It's the same idea of downshifting before passing someone, instead of just burying your foot into the peddle and waiting for the transmission to figure out what you want to do.
