XBOX 360 Elite - Will Not play games

I have had an xbox 360 elite for approximately five months. Two days ago, it stopped working almost completely. The machine will boot up, and proceed to game play (have tried FIFA 08 and NHL 08), then freeze. Sometimes the screen stays stationary, other times the screen becomes blurred and lines appear. After this happens, subsequent re-boots either bring an entirely red screen, or freeze at the XBOX Logo screen. Any thoughts? Also, no ring of death error....

I have a tevion steering wheel (5 years old not used yet) can I connect it to my xbox 360 elite. the connection leads have 4 plugs one for GC, one for Play station 1/2 , one for pc(usb) and one for Xbox....

Sorry to be the one to break this to you mate, but the Tevion steering wheel is only compatible with the following;
  • Game Cube
  • Playstation 1
  • Playstation 2
  • PC
  • Original Xbox
Now I can not guarantee this will work, but before you give up completely, Try Using the USB plug for the PC in one of the USB ports for the xbox 360 elite. They are located to the right of the front if you have your xbox 360 elite lying down flat, under a small flap. I use a Keyboard intented for a computer with my xbox 360 S in the same manner, so hopefully that will work.

Could you tell me in steps how to conect to xbox live

Step 1 Form your Xbox 360 you need to be connected to the Internet by a straight LAN line or wirelessly. You can test you connection by going to the setting screen on your Xbox 360.
  • Step 2 Once connected to the Internet for your Xbox 360 go to your main account screen and find the tab that says "Join Xbox LIVE" click on that link then follow the simple instructions that the Xbox LIVE will provide. At this point you should have a name in mind for your gamer tag.
  • Step 3 Xbox 360 LIVE has several different options available for memberships. They are a monthly, 3-month and 12-month membership accounts. I would recommend a simple one month account if you just wanted to check out the features offered on XBOX 360 LIVE. If your an avid gamer and love to play games online with friends, the 12-month Gold membership is the way to go.
  • Step 4 Once you've completed the process of joining Xbox 360 LIVE, they will send you a confirmation email confirming your membership. Now you can log on to Xbox 360 LIVE and start doing this like customizing your avatar and playing online multi-player games.

    Wont play Games

    It sounds like your drive has died. You will need to purchase a replacement from Microsoft or a licensed dealer. You can't replace with a generic drive as the Xbox uses proprietary firmware on them.

    Xbox 360 elite, call of duty 4 fault

    Hi Jake,
    Yhe only thing noticable here, is that the 360 elite has the 60 gig hard-drive instead of the Standard 20 gig, as fitted with the white 360. perhaps you might be able to try a 20 gig hard-drive on the box. May work, worth a shot. i,d also check microsofts site, for any game updates or patches for the game itself.

    hope this helps ya buddy.

    p.s plenty of people would be willing to trade your elite for a standard white 360. this would be another alternative.

    Mike @ Compurepair.
