Xbox 360 (Composite) Killscreen

Hello everyone,
I have recently purchased a few prototype models of the 'xbox 360'.
Those models didn't even come with proper cooling and didn't had a throttle function, just nothing against overheating.
Thus these models are prone to overheating.
This specific prototype I am showcasing comes with a few measures against overheating.
However, things went downhill as the console was reaching a critical temperature and in the end, it hardware was failing result in an error code. The specific temperature is unknown.
Although it must be a temperature so high, that hardware will fail.
This is my first console KS showcase so please comment your feedback for better quality!
This was recorded via an composite capture card. I apologize if the display quality seems off.
Like most classic screens, a blue screen just means no signal.

Given the initial build of the Xbox 360, this was very likely to happen.

[@WillieManga]

Well, I got pinned. Neat! Thanks!

[@toxicgoonavenger7534]

Even this xbox 360 has overheating error

[@christophermoon2136]

Notice: If you’re wondering what actually happens when it overheats is it shows a screen about how it’s overheating and doesn’t allow you to use the console.

[@christophermoon2136]

@pig? sometimes its rings but there is a screen for it too

[@z_e_r_o2799]

The ring appears in 0.0001 milesime of second after the console shut down, i concluded that... It is fake

[@mizukittyakinyama]

Mhm! Either that or 2 RROD.

[@PireTheOtamot]

It happened to me when I left the Microsoft Surface laptop on top of my Xbox 360 E.

[@nexus_xen]

There also the red dot of death only on xbox360 s

[@smashmeleeyt]

Lemme add some for fun background detail: In some of the 2006 prototype models, Microsoft did not add efficient fan speeds to the cooling fan, and at the time there was only one. The main board overheated, causing it to spread to other components like the CPU (extremely critical), GPU, and Sound Chip, (Also explains why the video got worse along with the sound being muffled.) Because the system didn't have any overheating mechanisms, (in which todays 360's will give you a message and/or shut off automatically) Microsoft implemented only a screen message, programmed to show different messages until it got to critical as the console worsened.

[@OGuiBlindao]

The x360 was released in 2005, but very good explanation!

[@OGuiBlindao]

(And an explanation for the OS Being new x360 instead of blade is because it was stolen and upgraded to new version, causing the error to occur faster than usual)

​@@Creeperriz So this is a real screen I can get on a proto?

[@murderer2022]

Because of how he animates the menus. It's so realistic in a way I can't describe. Also, technically we would expect a dedicated BIOS/Firmware for the Xbox, no? That's what I'm talkin about.

this video is chilling man. one of the best showcases of unsettling software gore ive seen. it feels like, wrong, in a sense, to be watching this, like you, the owner of this console, were never supposed to see this screen y'know? keep up the good work! can't wait to see what you make next.

[@shitass540]

hey dude, your vids are amazing, the only issue imo is the text. quite unrealistic for Microsoft to use exclamations marks, and also you missed some dots and commas i'd like to help with the text formatting tho, if you'll allow it

2:26 xbox startup sound: you didn't have to cut me off

[@Stereophonics-11]

pretty decent, its not the "OMG ERROR 666" trash some of them have, the only thing that gives it away is the lack of the old bootup or blades dashboard which would have implemented the stricter safety measures

[@YoooitsSCARS]

this is the best and the least cringiest kill screen ever, no red screen or spelling errors and its realistic. bravo

Two things to improve are: - Make it like it's from an hdmi of a modern tv because who uses av/dtv tv's? - Add that little no signal box or the one that says the port and resolution. Other than that, it's a very good animation!

[@BackupWhenYoutubeIsntWorking]

[@mojave5661]

@@BackupWhenKZbinIsntWorking unless a given 360 is a Xenon (the very first revision), or an Opus (refurb-only, made to fit Xenon cases), it's gonna have HDMI. and even the Xenon ones can use Component. ...but on the other hand, when my family got a 360 E in 2013, we used it with the included composite cables for a while

Just saying, I would’ve given off the ventilation error first. It was an error when the Xbox would not have ventilation and would randomly shut off during gameplay, then when starting up, it displays a message. Also you used red text in some parts of the video instead of black text.
