Well, Last night at around 3:30 AM me and Omen28 and our friend were playing CoD4, and I kept freezeing and getting werid pixel screens, and today again. I couldnt make it threw a game with SilentFatality. I froze up about 7 times in an 30minute period. This is my first box to die, Hope it goes good.
I blame Bob(Not Yellow), He spread it around :cheers: ;)
Heres the Pics.

I think Im going to buy an Elite, and sell this once I get it back. Im not sure I want the elite, Just never had an excuse to get one, untill now. Do they have an extra heatsink?

Ya that definitely sucks pretty bad. When we were playin last night i had a feeling that it might be that but i was hoping and praying it wasn't the RRoD, but I guess your not jesus :cry: just get back online soon! and yes, you should buy an elite, they are amazing!

oh and by the way, you will still be jesus in a bottle to me :hail:

I have an Elite, the only thing I have noticed is that it runs about 10 degrees cooler than a premium. Why? I don't know, but I put a temp gun to mine and my roommates, his was 10 hotter than mine, everytime. Other than that, the black case looks nicer than the white.

Do I need to send in an orginal faceplate with it? I dont have one. And, I just looked at the Seal, it looks kinda werid, Im starting to thing I was screwed from the get go, becuase I bought it new, and I've never attempted to open it, I will get a picture in a minute.

EDIT: Here are 2 pictures, I just on the plastic half of it is white and the rest (What I can see anyway) is a greenish blueish color, I scratched it, and it didnt come off, Is that normal?

No as long as the sticker is not in 2 pieces or looks like its been tampered with it will be fine. That one looks like my old one I had on my RROD box.. it was replaced thorugh warranty. You should be fine.

Hey those pics of your gaming were the same as mine when it died.. You will get a nice free replacement. Video processor chip was overheating. Looks like yours is doing the same.

Hey, thanks dude, I hope soo, After what wicked said, once I get this beast back, Im buying an Elite, it's been hot here, it's about an inch above the surface in my TV unit, Oh well, Maybe I will turn a fan on.

Right now ive been doing alot of rifle work for my buddy and he wants to sell his Elite and im trying to get him to trade me the console, controller, and HDMI Cable for the same from me but from the premium package.. I soo want the Elite.. mostly for the HDMI option as I have a 32" HD Tv now.

Elites aren't immune to the ROD. Mine got hit back in April and I had to send it in. I did receive another unit in return, but it was manufactured before my original unit was :(

The Elites when they came out had the new motherboard which helped (HDMI) and now they have the new cooler chips as well, so you should be fine. I have a launch Elite and never had a single freeze ever.
