Possible Xbox 360 fault???
I have a short list of games that I have since the wife bought the console for me at Christmas. More often than not I will be in the middle of gameplay and the right hand menu screen will scroll across saying that the disc is unreadable and to try cleaning it and then restart. This happens on all my games which are Call of Duty 3, MotoGP '06, Gears of War, Lego Star Wars and Oblivion. However the discs are clean with no scratches as they're looked after so why does this keep happening?

Assuming you've applied all of the updates, there is most likely a problem, so you'll need to contact MS.

Ah yes, updates. I've been meaning to do that for a while. Don't have a phone line cable permanently attached to it or the sky box. I'll dig out the extension cable and see if the updates solve the problem. Thanks.

After quite a bit of web searching, there seemes to be 2 definitive schools of thought. 1) Certain games "Gears of War" for example all seemed to throw up this fault and was possibly a manufacturing fault. 2) A great number of people believed it was a overheating related issue, and found that buying the Nikko fan units that clip on the back solb=ved the problem. Due to my 360 being in a cabinet, I thought that the heat issue was a likely cause as I never had the problem when it sat on a TV stand. I bought a clip on fan unit from Ebay and haven't had the fault since!! :luxhello: It may be coincidence, but I spend 4 hours+ on it sometimes without any issues now. |
Do you have a link to your cooler, or the Nikko version please?
