360 error code e79 and flash code 1033?




By Moorieuk on Jul 09, 2008

Hi, when my HDD is in my 360 i can pay games for 20 mins or so but then it crashes and comes up with 1 red light every so often and error code e79. when i do 'sync and eject' i get an error code (1433) and convert it to get 1033. now if i remove HDD the 360 will still crash after 20 mins or so. Both occasions of crashing usually happen when there is a load/save or even fast moving action.

Same Problem

-   The same thing is happening to me, after 2 minutes one red light comes on with an E79 error code and a 1033 flash code.
I think it is a problem with the GPU, or CPU.

Yo, Dude the solution for this is send it to ms. You have a file system corruption and the file xam.xex cannot be started from the hard disk because that is the file that does loading, reading and saving of game files.
So the only way is to send your hard disk to Microsoft to get it replaced or buy a new hard disk.
