Can you try executing the following command

Code:
sudo /usr/local/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin --standalone                     # default password = raspberry

Thanks for your help it seems to be working now. I was scared when i did the command because i tought i lost everything but after a reboot i got everything back.

I think the problem is caused because when i'm using the shutdown function in the xbmc menu it freezes. Are you familiar with it?
Hmm strange. Again I got some problems with it. Now when i safely shut it down and wanted to restart it the system boots with a black screen. I'm not able to ssh again into my pi.

When you shut down do you wait for the operation to complete fully?
The screen goes black but the shutdown is still in progress until the all the leds but red power are off, that takes additional several seconds.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not the most stupid person but i'm waiting if i use the power off system until the green lights aren't flashing any more. I think if it takes more than one hour to shutdown something is really wrong. I mean when it boots I got a black screen and can't login anymore with ssh.

Your SD card is probably corrupted.

Thx for your response, how can i use fsck in this version? Tried the command of the thread but i don't know how to do it in the cmdline. It looks like he isn't doing a fsck. Is there also a safe overclock wich I can use so it won't corrupt again? I'm using the defaults now but was using turbo

Something like this
Terminal
sudo fsck.ext4 -pf /dev/mmcblk0p2
But maybe u need another linux-pc (or vbox) bcoz fcsk cant run on mounted partition.
If u want safe OC, use "xbian" profile.
