my xbox is running slow

my xbox has been running slow lately. It takes about 2 mins for the system to boot up and when i press the guide button, it takes so long for it to up (atleast a minute) and it takes forever to check my friends, achievements, etc. help anyone please that would be appreciated.

Try cleaning your cache. When my xbox is sluggish I clean my cache but even when it is sluggish it doesn't take 2 minutes to boot up.

thanks alot D

thanks a lot DeadApeBladder btw, how u do u that does it erase ur memory or something cuz i dont think i have a memory problem with 360 i have an elite and it still has about 86gigs left

Go to system-->Memory and on the memory device push Y.

it's perfectly natural.. we all slow down with age.. just be patient

I didn't know consoles turn into Windows :PJigglyWiggly_

But it is Microsoft:P

i did it but my xbox is still running slow :SSSSS

Disconnect from Xbox Live and play on it for a bit and see if it is faster. Could just be your connection.

thanks guys, excellent suggestions i'll post later if it works or not

well i did a test on my 360 for my live connection and it turns out that i can connect to live but my NAT is not the right type (my NAT is MODERATE) anyone know to change it to OPEN? please this my 360 is pissing me off, everytime i start up MW2 i have to this update but it takes so long and it says "i cant download this update" or some **** :S

So, you first have to find your Admin Panel for your router/gateway (usually accessed by typing the IP address in the addressbar of your internet browser). Then you have to get into the advanced settings and configure something called the UPnP (Universal Plug'n'Play). This normally is set to be DISABLED, but that's not what you want. Go in andENABLE it, but don'tscrew around with anything else, and it might screw up your wireless internet. Then you should save the settings to the router/gateway, and restart both your router/gateway, and your XBOX360. When you run the test again, it should read as OPEN, and you should have no more problems with XBOX Live.GTFan712

ah **** this is a problem because someone else set up my xbox for me and i dont know the username or password for the ip of my router (linksys WRT54GS) . i think he changed it .

try using your xbox without signing into live at all
