Green pixels then crash on Xbox 360
So the other day, upon booting up my Xbox and contacting destiny servers, my console up and crashed. After trying three more times, I uninstalled, reinstalled everything (via past purchases), and tried again. This time, it said the disk could not be read.
I began to wonder now if this was a problem on my end, so I removed the disk, and there were no scratches whatsoever.
It's at thus point that I booted The Witcher 2 (completely digital copy) and it played fine for about 20 minutes, before crashing repeatedly during in-game loading, and eventually on boot. I tried again with Minecraft (digital copy) and it worked just fine, with no errors at all for a full hour.
So basically, I'm aware that this is a hardware problem on my end, but I'm posting here on the off chance that someone from the community could help me decide what is wrong. It's either the disk reader, the HDD, or the GPU, and I'm not sure which. If someone could help me with this it would be awesome, since literally none if my IRL friends seem to know what's going on, and I'm about to just go spend $200-$600 on either a new 360 or an XBOne and some hardware/games just to be able to play again.
Thanks in advance,

[b]Edit[/b]:
Well, it ended up pretty much like I thought it would. GameStop had no idea what was going on, so I traded in just about half of my physical game library (most of which I hadn't touched in [i]years[/i] anyway) to buy a new 360.
However, due to a lack of 250GB 360s models, I was forced to make due with a 500GB 360e instead.
Also, the internet is out for the [b][i]entire town[/i][/b] until an undisclosed time, so I may not be able to test this "e-model" (I'd bet money the "e" is for "economy") until my next day off, which might be as late as Monday next week, or as early as midnight tonight if everything goes well on AT&T's end.
Anyways, thanks for all the advice!
If I ever see you out there in the wild, I'll be sure to send a wave and a dance your way. :)

3 RepliesNo one is going to be able to give you a definitive answer without physically looking at your machine, unless there is a common problem that this kind of crash could be attributed to. However, from what you have said we can deduce a few things: Playing digital copies of games implies that the problem is not with your disc drive (or at least is not ONLY the disc drive) Being able to play games from the HDD implies the same as above for the HDD. Think about it, all you do from a HDD is read info and write info, you're definitely reading it when loading games, MAYBE you could see if the crash happens when you try saving a game? That would be a write operation. I doubt this is the case as if there is a HDD fault causing crashes this bad it just goes altogether. what is left is internal circuitry and I have no idea how it works inside, even if I did there would be a million and one possibilities. Long story short I think you'll be looking at a replacement. Have you considered looking at a repair to keep costs down? Maybe you're still in warranty?
