Xbox 360 Sounds Like It Going To Blow Up

I don't know if any one else is having the same problem but every time I play gow3 my Xbox make the worst noise ever and my pregnant gf is sleeping and trust me I don't want to wake her dam but is there any way to stop it making this noise ?

 

You could try installing the game to the Hard Drive

 

what kind of noise?do u mean the fans or the dvd drive?

 

is it just gow3? or any disc?

how does ur 360 "stand"

are the fans blocked/clogged with dust?

 

might give it this a try thanks

I think it the fan but the drive does make a lot of noise it sounds like it over running it self if you get me

 

By any chance are you using a Slim?

 

it just gow3 and it stands up and noting blocking it

yeap it the star wars Xbox and it fairly new

 

Well try installing to the HDD.

This has happened before with my 250gb Slim. But is quiet on my phat :L

 

you shouldnt really have your console standing up,it puts more pressure on the laser and can Flubber your discs up

 

Just installing it now let you know if it stop when it done
Thank every for quick replay daaam

Done I say the noise has gone a bit but it still sounds like it going to blow up and I end up with a hole in my wall

 

Damn that sucks.

 

I know right it like brand new as well but the noise has stop all together for now thanks everyone!

 

I think its a problem mate with the slims with gears of war 3 I Read it someone as it was still loud for me but is fine on my phat

 

I will try to Do some Research fo you.

 

oo that wired like it said all my other games work well but with gears just makes so much noise but I have install the game to my HDD and now playing it with no noise what so ever thanks mate

cheer mate i would like to know why it only happens to gears

 

My guess would be that since GOW3 was one of the first games released in XGD3 format,,M$ was probably testing the waters with different disc manufacture processes,,and even a little extra weight of uneven material layers is enough to throw your drive into a frenzy when the disc spins up to speed and is slightly out of balance on its axis (similar to a tire with a broken band in it, or a fan the has a broken blade,etc) I would bet if you look at your gears disc compared to others you'll find that it is possibly a touch thicker,,and may be rough looking around the outside edges, again anything to throw off the balance

This is why it is best to install games you play heavily,,also saves tons of wear on your drive,,,

OP I assume this is resolved,,, is it OK for me to close the topic?

 

Your welcome

 

thanks for the info mate, never really bothered installing games to my hard drive cuz I never really had this problem but I am now lol thanks and you can close the thread thank you.
