Do you use a wireless controller?

Is the controller wireless or wired? Does it do the same thing with the other controllers? Can you login to your account and connect to xbox live? Does it do this with other accounts? Does your controller work?

Indeed. I haven't had XBL for a long time, but I still come on her everyday.

It's probably an inherent issue with the controller. Is it wired directly to the console or is it wireless? If it's wireless, then replace the batteries. If it's wired, then go wireless.

Try a different wireless controller...if it still does it, it might be the Sync button on your 360..it happened to my second 360..the Syncronize button wasnt transmitting a signal to the controller on mine.

What I usually do is:
1) Turn the controller off.
2) Turn the controller back on. As it's powering up (the guide button's lights are spinning), press the sync button on both the controller and the Xbox.
3) Should be synced. If not, plug the controller into the Xbox with a charger while you sync them.

I've made it my life goal to never become too stressed. So if I appear to be doing nothing all the time and generally never working particularly hard on any task, that's my plan in action.

By a 'Play and Charge Kit' batteries and cable for your controller, if the problem still is there go send your controller for repair or go buy a new controller.
