Update brick your 360? Speak up [update 1]

Nov 1st 2006 12:08PM (Joystiq Xbox)
When the update restarted my Xbox the loading screen hung for quite some time. After finally loading a full 3 or 4 minutes later, I popped in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 to shoot a few holes. My screen locked up just as the driving range fly-over started.

I rebooted everything and was greeted with the 3 red rings of death.

Checked all my connections, rebooted, red rings.

Made myself a drink, rebooted...YAY..it came up this time. TW07 locked me up in the exact same spot and on reboot I was again greeted with the red ring salute numerous times.

I left the box alone for 30 minutes or so and finally came back with telephone in hand ready to eat some poor tech support guys lunch...but the box turned on perfectly this time.

Thinking that perhaps it was somehow related to TW07, I loaded up Ghost Recon. I hadn't played for a while so I downloaded the newest patch with no problems. I ran through a few single player missions with no problems, even stopping to idle for 20 minutes when my baby son started crying.

I have not had a problem since. TW07 even runs fine now.

I have rebooted multiple times and played various games for a few hours with no trouble now.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't run into any more problems.
