| Entroper said: This makes no sense. There are power fluctuations in the power coming from your wall socket, which, if anything, a surge protector would dampen. Maybe we should do another polling thread, and ask everyone who reported problems with their 360 if they were using a surge protector, a power conditioning surge protector, or an uninterruptible power supply (battery backup). Ask those with working 360s too, come to think of it. |
That all depends on what kind of surge protector you have. The cheap ones do very little and can't help with brown outs (low voltage). I recommend spending about $20 or so on a good one for most electrical equipment and getting a UPS for your PC. More great info about surge protectors can be had here:

Numbers are like people. Torture them enough and you can get them to say anything you want.
