Forums - Microsoft - What do you do when your 360 freezes?

kowenicki said:
the same as the ps3.... panic slighlty..... and then press and hold the power button.

the 360 has a power button? I cant find it

And I dont panic, I have a 3 year warranty on my Elite and have had consoles freeze on me hundreds of times over the years :)

When the 360 freezes, wait for the inevitable.

I don't get how both of your systems have freezing issues. My launch PS3 has never frozen and the only time my 360 froze, it was proceeding a RRoD. My current 360 has never frozen.

Are your systems ventilated enough?

There are patterns to the freezing and it has nothing to do with ventillation. I notice my 360 is prone to freezing when a lot is going on on screen, for example it froze when I was playing MW2 with grenades, RPGs and Noob Tubes everywhere in a very small area. I noticed my PS3 froze all the time when I was using my web browser and messaging at the same time.

what!? its that big thing that is hopefully green on the front.

Thats a button? I cant push it , it doesn't move. Isnt it just a piece of decorative casing?
