Does it go through a reboot sequence first or just powers of and that's it? Do you have a softmod or chip? _________________ Xenium Ice 2.3.1 OS

Is there a set thing you do before it turns off, such as playing a game for a long time, inserting a new game in, etc.? Also, you said it turns off sometimes right after it boots up, does it do this upon initial bootup for the day, or after a few boot up's have been performed? _________________ XBOX- V1.0

some times is after a few boot up's have been performed and some times is after the first one of the day. i think the first time that it happen was when one of mi kids put the cable box on top of the xbox and it was very hot, the xbox was off. but when it turn it on it started to do this things, if i am playing a game i would turn off just as is have started to play or play a lot, there is no pattern that i can fallow. _________________ Unleash X V.0.31.1207A

Did you get the new xbox power cord... This could be the problem. It could be forcing too much electricity. _________________ The Government is based on God and Weed is Illegal. Alcohol is made by man and is legal. Do You see the connection?

I forgot all about this option. If you have evox, if you go into settings, you can actually see the temp. of both your mobo and harddrive, check those after playing a few minutes to see if it is too high, if it is, than it definitely is overheating and you will need to do something with the fan. If it is not overheating, than at least you can rule that out. _________________ XBOX- V1.0

im a US Army soldier in Iraq and had a friend experience the problem your having. come to find out he was over voltage with a faulty converter...all power here is 220, anyway he was over driving the power supply and the console would just cut off. he eventually burned up the power supply. i opened the console up and noticed a cap was burned up that was located on the front of the power supply. the cap acted as a fuse "thank god" and i was able to fix it by creating my own fuse in its place. the cap is only for cleaning and regulating the voltage before it enters the actual power supply. so i recommend checking the voltage that is entering the power supply. could be a possible porblem.
