When your Xbox goes gagga, it probably seems like the end of the world. It will probably happen at a crucial moment in your favourite game; one which you forgot to save, or in a critical moment of a movie that has to be returned tomorrow!

Ho hum!

Thankfully, the world is not ending just yet. It will wait until after your Xbox Error Codes have been revealed! I am sure you are asking what an Xbox error code is? Well, it is the code that your Xbox 360 will use to tell you what it thinks the problem is. It is made up of a capital letter E followed by some numbers. It is the numbers that will tell you what is wrong.

So, for example, if you get an E64, E65 or E66 error, your console is telling you that you have a fault directly related to your DVD drive. As is often the case with the Xbox (or other gaming platforms for that matter), this can be an issue with overheating. Overheating is easy enough to try and resolve yourself. Firstly

• Unplug your Xbox 360
• Let it cool down naturally (so don't put it in the fridge)
• Check its location is not near any heat sources, including windows
• Make sure there is free moving air around the console
• Try again

Once you have checked all of these out, there is a good chance that you will have resolved the over heating problem.

Maybe you don't want to go down this route particularly, and you would prefer some more specific information. If so, there are some excellent Xbox repair guides around, which will lead you step by step through the correction process. Written by professionals, these guides can save you a lot of money in unnecessary repair bills.
