Weird 360 Problem! Need Help!

[Bmore]

--- I Need Help ---​

4 p.m. --- So I'm sitting in a chair playing Assassins Creed 2, when the 360 guide comes up and tells me to do 1 of 3 things.

1. Shut off the Console
2. Shut off the Controller
3. Cancel

So I hit my guide button and close out of the guide and continue playing. Console does it again 5 minutes later, only this time it freezes the game. So just like a normal human person, I look at my 360 and I notice 2 green lights are lit (as if I have another controller plugged up).

One problem! I only have one controller...

So I turn my console off and reboot it up. I start up Marvel Vs. Capcom2 and the guide with the 3 options comes up a couple more times. I once again hit my guide button and continue to play.

--------------------
Fast Forward to 2 a.m. ----

I've played a couple games of LFD2 and I turn the console off. (I've forgotten about the problem, because it hadn't happened for approximately 7-8 hours.) I swing over to my computer, when I hear my 360 start up again. WTF? I look down at the 360 and it's on and it says there is a controller on... as if someone turned it back on or something.

So at this point I'm a little weirded out. So the bright, college student I am I pull the charger out of my controller (even though it says it's off) and turn off my console again. 5 seconds later it comes back on... So I pull out all the USB charging cords and turn it off again. It comes back on... So I pull the A/C adapter out of the back and plug it back in. Before I can even test it, it shoots back on.

So now I'm sitting here... in my computer chair... with my eye brow raised... trying to figure out... HOW THE FUCK DO I TURN OFF MY 360!!!!!!!

Unplug the power cord. How difficult can that be?

Well obviously that will do the job, but what I'm getting at is it has never done this before. I've left my 360 plugged in and it would usually turn off and STAY off...

I don't get what the sudden change is about. Basically I don't want to have to unplug and replug in my console, every time I want to play it. That would force me to go behind my T.V. stand 4-5 times a day, which is a pain in the ass.

Ok after some research I found the solution of turning the console off... Instead of using the console, I am forced to use the controller.

However, No matter how I start up the 360 it continues to say there are 2 controllers plugged in.

I'm not understanding this at all...

You have a ghost controller in your house. Case closed.

Yea dude someone is messing with you. Do you live with anyone? It's clear is day someone is messing with your head and they are obviously succeeding because you went as far as starting a thread on here without realizing it.

Yea, I live with someone. But they don't own a 360 and the peeps I live with don't know how to work the 360.

Basically what I think it comes down to is I think the system reads 2 controllers, but it's reading the same controller twice (Don't know if that makes sense).

Cuz like I said I got it to shut off, when I powered it down through the controller.

I think I fixed it. I hit the sync button on the console that is right beside the memory card slots, then hit my controllers sync. Seems to have fixed the problem.

Still weird though how it read the same controller twice.

If thats the case than that is very weird.
