Hope all continues to be well and it was just a momentary fluke. I've had boot problems with my original Xbox and had it work upon reboots; luckily none with my 360 *knocks on wood*...
Good luck.
Good luck.

Just out of curiousity, where is the power supply for it at? I have mine on tile in front of my fireplace after hearing the if I suspend the power supply, it will allow for enough airflow. I may just be paranoid keep it on the cool tile after reading these stories. May still want to give Xbox support a call to see what they say. Was it on for quite a while? Sorry to prod, just want to see if this may be the cause. I hope it doesn't occur for you again, however if it does see if the power supply may be extremely hot. Also read someone having the 3 red light error and reseated the video connection to the 360.

Wierd man. I would say just a overheating problem, which a lot of people are having, but for an hour...wierd.
Hopefully nothing else happens, but like someone else said, call Microsoft if you want, it might be a good idear.

Sorry to hear that alzapa, was hoping it would keep working for you.
Hope the exchange goes as painless as possible for both of you.

Since I bought my xbox at Best Buy, I also got the extended warrentary...I didnt want to mess with Microsoft and getting a refurbished unit, so my ultimate plan if my 360 breaks is to take it in...and keep the hard drive and contoller in my pocket. If they asked, then I would give them up, but if not, then I'd have 2 contollers and 2 HDDs! I'll hafta be sure to look for someone at customer service that doesnt know anything about video games, too.
