My Orange Box keeps freezing when loading

Frequently, when I try to load a saved game to play, the game will freeze and nothing will respond. I have to manually shut the X-Box off, and try again. The last time it froze when I was trying to play Half Life 2, I couldn't get it even after 3 times.

Is this only my copy? Is it in any way repairable?

Thanks

The same thing happen to my game. so I installed it on my harddrive and it hasn't froze on me since.you So hould do this before you return it.
