My Xbox 360 is stuck on the Splash Screen, please help.

Hey there Stove! I understand you are having some freezing issues here. First, I'd like to have you test the hard drive. What you need to do is turn the console off, remove the HDD completely, turn the console on, and see how the console behaves. If it loads up properly and has no issues, turn it off again, attach the HDD, and boot it up. If your issues come back, we can point to the HDD as the cause here, and I would recommend a replacement. Let me know if that helps, and we'll go from there. Thanks!

really the same thing happened to me just wait for about 5 mins and it will work

I'm having the same issues, I start it up and when it gets to the gray screen it stays there for about 5-10 Mims and then goes to the dashboard. I tried removing the hard drive as Xbox live said to do and restart, then shut down and restarted and it still  stickes on the grey screen. Whamt to know what's going on with it. Was playing it earlier and working d fine. Went back like 4 hours later and this was happening. I don't know what to thnk
