So here is the situation I have seen. Forza 2 kept causing my xbox 360 to crash showing a corrupt screen. This spread to when I was simply booting up the xbox, I could not ever get to the dashboard at start-up. My friend said this was similar to his console before the circle of death. I have solved the issue though, but not in a way you will like to hear.

1. Remove hard drive and boot xbox, if it seems ok shut down and re-attach the hard drive.

2. Follow microsoft step; ** This will delete updates on drive, but nothing valuable **
a. Locate the System section of the Xbox 360 Dashboard.
b. Select Memory, select Hard Drive, and then press Y to view the device options screen.
c. On the Xbox 360 Controller, press the X button, press the X button again, press the left bumper, press the right bumper, press the X button, and then press the X button again.
d. You will be prompted to confirm system maintenance, select Yes by pressing A.

3. Don’t play Forza 2 if you can resist it. I played it again and it all started over.

At least some of you got to play Forza 2. Mine wont even start up and it freezes. Had the same problem with Quake 4 (after 5 mins of gaming). All other games working ok, so far. Occasional sticking with Gears of War tho.

my xbox 360 i have had 6 months now, well actually 3 months as i had my first xbox 360 3 months b4 it broke, my first xbox 360 broke within 2 weeks but it wasnt the dreaded 3 lights of death it was just simply cracking my discs (not burning) but actually cracking them, so i took it back to the shop and got another 1, so far since then i had no troubles apart from the occational unable to read disc on gears of war even though i take very much care of my discs and tehre was no dirt or finger prints or scratches on it at all, but then i bought forza 2 adn i thouht it was the best game ever untill it froze and bricked my xbox 360 it was freezing only on that game aswell no other 1, cheers microsoft you really did me a favour cus from now on i will never ever buy a microsoft prduct again, i dont know why i even decided to get another games console my ps2 was fine games are great and the xbobx 360 is a total failure and i am un impressed by the ps3 it looks like a big fat ugly bread bin a message to all stick with what u know best old school consoles or pc games next gen games consoles are a waste of space PEACE!!!!!!!!

Apparently im not alone…..

Hey Guys,

Craziness. My 360 just died a week a ago about 3 weeks after getting Forza 2. I was getting frequent freeze ups in the car selection screen and then the picture would go funny every so soften and then the dreaded ring of death. I have had a new borrowed 360 for 3 days now and I am getting the freeze ups in the car selection screen again. The really crazy thing is that my old original xbox crapped out right after I bought the original forza causing frequent dirty disc errors.
I think this game (and the last one) maxes out the mechanical functions of the 360 with it’s game engine design and now it’s effecting the original overheating defect that’s in everyone’s 360.
Microsoft just messed up. They tried to make hardware like they make software and something went terribly wrong. The 3 year warranty thing is good but they need to give some more options. A credit towards a xbox 360 elite (which I assume works better) in exchange for the damaged unit which they could sell as refurbished or maybe offer a few free games or a few thousand points for the marketplace or something.

Gene, Microsoft haven’t upped the warranty to 3 years. They have agreed to repair the 3 rings of death fault only. The 3 year warranty doesn’t cover anything else.

I cant believe that anyone thinks Microsoft have come out of this looking good. They did the bare minimum and only then because they could no longer get away with ignoring it like they had done for over a year. The again almost all of the people I’ve read defending Microsoft in this don’t actually know the terms of the warranty and they also aren’t aware that for the last year Microsoft have simply been repairing the damage the fault caused not repairing the fault. That of course is like sweeping the dust under the carpet, the problem doesnt go away it just looks better in the short term. It will of course come back. Probably after the 3 years is up.

If you are planning on using your console for 5 years I guarantee you the PS3 will work out cheaper and that’s for 2 main reasons. Firstly a few years of online gameplay charges will make the 360 more expensive and secondly because I’m willing to bet that a large percentage of 360 users will have to buy another console after their first one dies.

You should remember that as games get more detailed they become more of a tax on the GPU and CPU which in turn creates more heat.

Good luck

My 3 month old xbox 360 console got the 3 red lights a couple of weeks before the forza 2 launch. Got a new one from microsoft. My friends console died after playing forza 2 a couple of weeks.

Microsoft has released an unfinished product and if u use ur console, it`s bound to fail sometime..

Microsoft sucks..

It’s a good thing Microsoft just upped their warranty to 3 years on the XBOX360 (including shipping). Not other console in history has given a 3 year warranty. I think they’re doing a pretty good job of standing behind their product.
