Has anyone been having errors with their 360 crashing today. This has been happening with PGR3 and since about 11 this morning it has happened about 6 times.

Has anyone else found problems with this or other games.

I have read about PGR causing problems in the US. Do you think its my machine or just the game?

Cheers ;-(

Make sure both the 360 and the power supply are well ventilated and if possible not laying on carpet. PGR3 seems to push the hardware a bit more so it runs slightly warmer and is causing poorly placed machines/power supplys to overheat and cut out.

I know I may sound like a stuck record but is both the console and the PSU well ventilated and no sat on a carpet surface?

Well my rooms hot but its not stuck on the carpet its on a wooden drawer thing. I have it sitting horizontally. but if feels fairly cool allthough its a little warm at the back/middle if i touch it on top.

I heard having it vertically scratches the discs?
