Fix Your Crashing X-Box 360 With String

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the at-least-you-have-one dept.

mkraft writes "A gamer fed up with his new Xbox 360 crashing every 20 minutes has fixed the problem by raising the power supply off the ground with some string. Goldeneyemaster over at the GameSpot forums indicates that the main reason for his Xbox 360 freezing up is the power supply overheating. The solution is to lift the power supply off the floor and allow the air to circulate better around it."

    Because gamers are too damned stupid to read and follow directions? Didn't Warcraft / Starcraft / WhateverCraft sell like a bajillion copies, all of which require reading the instructions in order to actually do well? Sit the console on top of the tube part of the TV. If you can afford a flatscreen and a $400 console, you can probably also afford some nice wood floors or a piece of aluminum foil or something. If the 13" TV in your trailer home is too small for the console, pull back that astroturf/carpet and put the console on the steel floor. :)
