Power supply overheating. Raise it off the ground on all six sides.

Perhaps a fan on it.

If this doesnt do it, your problems are beyond an "easy fix".

I heard the intercooler is bad, some horror stories about people buying it then gettin the red halo


I just have mine on a 2 top tabble standing up
then i got my Viewsat in the middle then my ps3

Non of them overheat eva xbox360 does get pretty hot tho

Try just standing it up...dont waist money just yet on the Red Halo Cooler. If it is on ur carpet take it off. It needs to breath

i had problems with my 360 also. you have to make sure you have it laying down horizontally, not standing up (standup mode blocks the intake fans on the end of the console). keep off carpet and keep a few inches minimum on top, sides, and back. the aftermarket add-on fans really do extend the console life though by keeping interneal componenets cooler - same principle as computer cooling systems. if its turning off/resetting probly just a bad connection. like you said, unplug everything... wait 5 minutes and plug it all back in really good - including the harddrive. worst case: i did this once with my old xbox and once with my 360 and worked like a charm. 1)go buy a new one at wal mart. 2)put the busted xbox(360) and all wires/controllers in the cardboard box that your new one came in. 3)return to walmart and get yer money back. ** you can also swap harddrives to keep your saved games, but test it before returning because the harddrive could be your problem. also, i swapped a "big" for an "s" with my original xbox "trade". and i swapped a wireless for a wired on the 360 trade. lol worked like a charm! only done walmart but other stores prob work too...my original wouldnt open disk tray or play games, my 360 had "red lights" which means hardware failure. oh and if for some reason they give you trouble about the walmart swap, just say oops must be the wrong one and return the "new" one and you're back where you started. then you can send it in to microsoft, which sux cuz it can take 6-8 weeks and you pay shipping+parts not covered in warranty. walmart swap is much faster and free

I guess that would have helped to tell you huh. I found it though. I am not NOD. I had to click refinery, and on verticle tabs found the silo. Got tired of hearing, "silo needed" lol.

i like generals better cuz u dont need silos and the technology is more current. also, you CAN hook up a mouse/keyboard too the 360... but you have to buy this adapter. i cant remember what its called but its like $60 or 70. pretty much rip off unless you are lifetime PC gamer and just switching to 360. but i agree, strat games MUST have key/mouse. controller is almost impossible to move fast=win. you can hook up keyboard but not for gameplay, only menu screens.
