Another Xbox 360 Crashing


Recommended Posts

correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't a die shrink or a dvd firmware update warrant a new "version" also?  Not to be picky, but I don't think that the version count is an accurate way to count the ps2 "problems".

well, I'm not bashing any console or company here because at home we have 2 xbox, 2 gamecubes, 1 PS2 Slim, 1 Dreamcast, 1 PSP and 1 Nintendo DS... :drool:

and well, I was talking about the different hardware revisions which are the ones responsible for about 90% of the calls to the tech support centers. you can go to any of the "scene" websites and you'll find a lot of very useful info (that is not avialable on any of official web sites for obvious reasons) about what has changed on each of the different revisions. :blush: :happy: ;) :yes:

Good one Spartan

glad you liked! :blush: :happy:

have a nice day! :yes:

Hardware is always tweaked...they do it to save money.

I don't know why everyone is ****ting all over the 360. So what if a few people are having problems...doesn't mean every damn 360 is faulty. There are always going to failures when it comes to hardware (hell look at the the auto industry).

If you don't like the 360...fine...you are entitled to your opinion but if you are gonna be a mindless antiMicrosoft fanboy....STFU!

hardware version can jsut be new changes. things that might have been improved, it doesent allways meen there was a problem to warrent a hardware change does it ?

101 of the console industry... :p

if aint broken dont fix it! well... unless it's cheaper to produce, implement and it doesn't broke anything else alone the way... :happy: :laugh: :rofl: :p ;) :yes:

Ok if it wasn't rushed then why are so many of them freezing, having hardware errors and overheating? **** thought they would of found those bugs when the tested it, Guess not EH MATE? A bug in a console should be nothing more then the occasional lag spike, not a total system ****ing failure.

And no i don't own a 360 and thank **** for that woulda been 600$ thrown to ****.

Why would i even need such a horribly built "Current gen pc posing as a next gen console" (innovative my ass) to know how RUSHED RUSHED RUSHED RUSHED it was, read the posts, the dozens of topics on neowin alone should give u a clue, Hell if not go check out the other 50 xbox sites that have ppl reporting "Uhh my xbox 360 is fuxed" Dude go hug an xbox, marry it. I can't see how you could be defending a very known and very faulty peice of hardware.

Of course a few people are going to have problems, and when they do they're going to post here. There's not a big chance your console is going to have a major problem with it...everyone that doesn't experience problems won't come here and post a new topic saying "YEA MY XBOX IS FINE!11!".

ok ya the ppl having problems that do know about neowin are posting here, otheres are posting at other sites, most of them aren't posting anything anywhere. so u have about 20% of the ppl with problems posting stuff. theres a good 50 posts on several sites of faulty consoles, think of how many more there are out there that we don't know about. seriously.

How did the PS2 have MORE problems? Only problems were some very rare overheating cases in the first variations of the console. And most of the disc read errors were caused by dirty lenses, not faulty hardware. Its funny how many houses I went to with a little air sprayer and fixed the PS2 right up within half a second.

"omfg my PS2 wont read my DVD's ", " Brt ". 2 minutes later. Alright, good to go. "ummm cool man thanks " lol.

The PS2 could control the heat though, the Xbox360 has nothing in its design that will make the massive amount of heat generated by the console itself go away. Especially when you put the GPU UNDER the DVD-Drive which will just cause it to get even hotter. And people thought those Wal-Mart Xbox360s overheating and dying all over the place was just faulty pre-release hardware .... poor suckers.

I'll wait a good year or so. No real reason to buy the console right now anyway. Not when my head is so deep in PS2 games right now. DQVIII is going to last me for a long long time.

That will teach those hardcore gamers a lesson, never buy first generation without waranty because you'll most probably use it, especially when the same company repeated history over.

The 1st generation PS2's were certainly not near as faulty as the Xbox and/or Xbox360.

im the king of killing a consoles, i avg 16-20 hours play a console after 1st day i get it.

2 DC dont work anymore.

the xbox i have played more then the DC and i never had a thing go wrong with my xbox, the disc only.

if any one can kill a console i can. so after i get my xbox360 i will let you know if something goes wrong.

Microsoft just brought this out WAY TO EARLY

so did you work on the xbox360, to know. did you work on anything having to do with a xbox360. if no, then how would your know

    • No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.
    • That's a good number until the game you want to play is not in that list. 
    • So, the logo means No ducking AI?
    • For sure, humanity us highly unlikely to survive the helium flash. Even if we have colonized moons in the outer planets by then, that is such a monumental change in heat output, coupled with the destruction of Earth, it's unlikely we could be fully prepared for changes of that scale.
