A gamer fed up with his new Xbox 360 crashing every 20 minutes has fixed the problem by raising the power supply off the ground with some string.
Dan, from Duluth, or 'goldeneyemaster' as he is known, told the game spot forum here that he thinks the main reason that the xBox 360 freezes is because the power supply overheats. The solution is to lift the power supply off the floor and allow the air to circulate better around it.

30.08.2008Nvidia pinpoints 8800 slowdown cause, delays fix
We reported a couple of weeks
ago about a problem with
seemingly random drops in
performance from GeForce 8800
cards, especially the 320MB
version of the GeForce 8800
GTS. At that time, Nvidia
acknowledged the problem and
said it expected to have a fix
some time in July. The month
ended without a fix, but
Nvidia has given us an update
on its progress.
Nvidia confirmed
that, as we suspected, the
slowdowns are caused by a
texture management issue,
which would explain why 320MB
cards are affected most often.
The company says the root of
the problem is applications
failing to evict unneeded
textures properly. The video
card's drivers must account
for this behavior and work
around it.
Unfortunately, Nvidia also
says the problem is more
complex than it originally
thought, so the fix won't be
available until late August or
early September. When it
comes, the initial fix will
only cover DirectX 9. A fix
for DX10 will come later.

05.11.2005Mozilla offers temporary fix
for Firefox flaw
Responding to the
disclosure of a serious Web
browser flaw, the Mozilla
Foundation offered on Friday a
temporary fix to protect
Firefox and Mozilla
users.
The
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozi
lla.org/firefox/releases/1.0.6
/patches/307259.xpi]downloadab
le fix protects against
attacks that take advantage of
a new, unpatched flaw that
could let attackers secretly
run malicious software on
users' PCs. The flaw was
disclosed late Thursday by
security researcher Tom
Ferris, sending Mozilla staff
into damage-control
mode.
The problem
has to do with the way the
Firefox and Mozilla browsers
handle International Domain
Names, or IDNs, said Mike
Schroepfer, director of
engineering at Mozilla. IDNs
are domain names that use
local language characters. The
fix disables support for such
Web addresses, he
said.
"This is a
temporary work-around just to
deal with the immediate
issue," Schroepfer said.
"We're working on a future
release in which we will
actually fix the problem and
re-enable the IDN feature."
Switching off IDN support
impacts a subset of Firefox
and Mozilla users who actually
use such special domain names,
he said. ..
