If you get an error code on your XBOX 360, one this to try is resetting your console. While there are some issues, like hardware failures, that will never be fixed by this, many error codes on the XBOX 360 can be fixed by going through the reset procedure. Here's how to reset your XBOX 360.

- Fromt the main menu, select system
- Choose memory
- On the game controller, press the Y button

- At this point you should see a message on the screen that says, Do you want to perform maintenance on your XBOX 360 storage devices?
