Help Nexus 7 not starting

[cianbroderick01]

My Nexus 7 stopped starting up today. I was playing a game when my device suddenly froze, about 3 seconds later it turned off. I have a non-rooted build, no "odd" apps or downloads. Now when I try to turn it on it go's to the Google screen fine, go's to the X, but gets stuck on the X. Don't know why ! Any suggestions?

You could try doing a factory reset.

When you get to the point of selecting "wipe data/factory reset" it's worth trying "wipe cache partition" instead and see if the N7 will then boot. This should preserve your data, while the "factory reset" option will wipe it.
