    I was just playing Resident Evil 5 and without warning my 360 shut itself off. I turned it back on and about 5 minutes later it did it again while I was at the dashboard. No red ring or anything, just shuts down.

    Has this happened to anyone else? How can I fix it?

    Is it in a place where it can heat up fast?

    Sounds like your power supply is dying. That is all I can think of, I am used to seeing 3 beautiful red lights myself.

    It is in a well ventilated area although it is a bit warm in the room overall. But I don't think its anything the system couldn't handle. Otherwise everyone in Arizona would have constantly dead 360s. lol.

    Never had that problem. My problem is that my Xbox's disc tray keeps openng randomly, but it never actually opens. It just puts it in an "Opening . . ." status. Pain in the ass, really. Also, I've been electrocuted by it before.

    See, Xbox 360 is part of Skynet.  It is only a matter of time.

    I have the opposite problem, mine seems to randomly switch itself on.  Thankfully, no electrocutions yet.

    Well I tried it again and it was on for about 20 minutes before I turned it off myself. Hopefully it was some freak power problem (although it did happen twice). But I figure I should let it rest for a little while.

    In Transformers, the cube touched an Xbox and it turned into a Transformer.
