This anti-crash tip for the Xbox 360 comes via Goldenyemaster:

My 360 was crashing a lot (like once every 20 minutes). So I took the power supply off the ground and suspended it in the air with some string. I have been playing for about 3 hours straight and no crashes so far! … I found an easier way to do this. I got a box with no cover and put the power supply on the edges.

This tip sounds a bit hokey, but I suppose it does open up more circulation around that juice brick. Maybe this will help the unlucky 360 gamers out there experiencing crashes and freezing.

A long term fix though is offered by Molly O’Donnell, a spokeswoman for Microsoft’s Xbox division, via Yahoo News:

O’Donnell urged anyone with Xbox problems to call 1-800-4myXbox or go to http://www.xbox.com. If the problems can’t be resolved immediately, Microsoft said it will pay to ship the console overnight to a repair center, overnight it back once it’s fixed, or ship a replacement.

A flying power brick definitely sounds cooler though.

Did this post make you go hmm?
