I've had my elite for 5 months and I have not had this problem. Make sure your 360 isn't on a dusty surface, somewhere where it's warm or make sure all the power cables are properly connected.
Yeah, i read all the FAQs on MS's Xbox site.
Sorry if i was a little vague on the thread post, I haven't came across the problem yet myself, just scared that i will. I guess it's time to get the AC going..
Well that explains alot.
Baisically follow the FAQ's, if you get power surges try and get a UPS and thats all you can really do to prevent it. But if it happens take it back.
