Hi, when my HDD is in my 360 i can pay games for 20 mins or so but then it crashes and comes up with 1 red light every so often and error code e79. when i do 'sync and eject' i get an error code (1433) and convert it to get 1033. now if i remove HDD the 360 will still crash after 20 mins or so. Both occasions of crashing usually happen when there is a load/save or even fast moving action.

Yo, Dude the solution for this is send it to ms. You have a file system corruption and the file xam.xex cannot be started from the hard disk because that is the file that does loading, reading and saving of game files.
So the only way is to send your hard disk to Microsoft to get it replaced or buy a new hard disk.

If you get the Xbox 360 1 red light message, it means that the problem is either with the DVD drive, or with the hard drive.
Fortunately, the Xbox 360 1 red light message is not something that you should worry about. In order to identify which of the two drives the Xbox 360 1 red light messages is referring to, just look the code number that the screen displays. DVD drive errors are identified with the codes E64, E65 and E66, whereas hard drive errors are identified with codes E67, E69 and E79.
Once you identify which error the Xbox 360 1 red light message is pointing to, fixing it is really easy. The guide available at Fix-xbox360.info will tell you what to do in each case, as well as what to do in case you get any of the other Xbox 360 lights messages. Check it out.

i was just playing my 360 then after about 30min it frose so
i restarted then it came up with E 79 so i tryed again but same thing
what is does this mean and how do i fix this problem.
The same thing is happening to me, after 2 minutes one red light comes on with an E79 error code and a 1033 flash code.
I think it is a problem with the GPU, or CPU.
my xbox still has tha e79 error even without tha hardrive in it
Mine happens in 11 seconds from me pushing the power button
