SYMPTOMS
You see the lower-right quadrant of the Ring of Light flash red on the front of the Xbox 360 console. Additionally, you do not receive an error message.

If one red light flashes and you receive an error message, there may be a different problem. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

CAUSE
This behavior occurs when the Xbox 360 console experiences a hardware failure.
Back to the top

THINGS TO TRY
1. Turn off the console, disconnect and reconnect all cables, and then turn the console back on.
2. Turn off the console, and then disconnect any connected accessories, such as controllers, Xbox 360 Memory Units, and the Xbox 360 Hard Drive. With these accessories removed, restart the console to see whether the problem persists and to pinpoint whether it is the console or an accessory.
3. If you continue to experience this problem, contact Xbox Customer Service.

My 360 did this, had one red light come up on the front, said 'read error, contact microsoft' turned it off then back on again and all has been fine since.
Only done it with GTA4 though...

I had the problem too this morning. Signed out of PSN and it worked.

i took gta 4 out to watcha film last night put it back in this morning and got the loaiding screen the date thing so took disc out gave it a clean stuck it back in and its fine

Done the same for me twice on my ps3 and tbh a few of the games I have tryed have done the same thing, worse was UT3 but I hope there will be an update to solve the problem , If possible!

You left it loading "starting new game" for 20 minutes xD if that was an xbox it would have blow up :o

mine did the same first time i loaded the game after opening scenes, just rebooted not had a problem since

it worked thanks :D

lol, my mate did the same. Tried deleting all his saves and everything.

Signed out and stayed out and now it works :rolleyes: Shouldn't have deleted the bits i saved :lol: Now back at the start :( Oops

Yeah sorry, I meant that you had to stay signed out. (Not every time you want to play it, but just to get it to work - should work after that.)

:o

so you sign out and don't sign back in?

Signing out of PSN and retrying seems to work tom. It's a bug that Rockstar know about apparently.

Mine did this. Now it is stuck on 'Loading First Date'. :mad:

My mate had the same problem. Sign out of the PSN and then retry. That should work.

Just got home and put GT4 in my ps3 for the first time, it installed data to hard drive and now its just stuck on Starting new game screen for the past 20minutes?
