Might have to do with live being messed up right now... Freezing isn't anything to worry about though unless it's a regular event.

does it freeze all the time? i have certain games that do and all my games are in pristine condition, if you have the hard drive space, install them that took care of the freezing for me.

star wars the force unleashed, fear 2, forza motorsport to name a few used to freeze all the time but once i installed them to the hard drive they work perfectly, although i did lose all my saved data from resident evil last night but that might have been my fault.

So far, only one game in my Live Arcade library has been giving me some freezing issues. Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting. It happens whenever I exit to the dashboard from the game's main menu.

Yea, happens from time to time. Esp GTA IV have had a few more freezes than any other game that has froze. Seems like its pretty common for just GTA IV to freeze on people. Wonder why?

It was my experience in the 2 times I had to send mine back because of RRoD it started freezing up a few days before becoming fully useless so it is something to watch out for. Luckily since you just bought it you have years before your warranty expires and overall the wait shouldn't be that long if you do need to send it back. One of the times though I had to wait over 6 weeks but that was a pretty uncommen error on their part.

My xbox froze once in a loading screen when I borrowed Skate off a friend. It was scratched horribly though, so I installed it to the HDD. It's been fine ever since.

It happens randomly to me every now and then. On some games it's more common, but overall it's rare for me.

Mine used to it was because of resolution settings. The old tv I used at first for my xbox did not like a certain resolution and widescreen.

Yes mine does for certain games. Like GTA IV, Fallout 3. I have found a simple remedy to the problem. You need to clear your xbox memory cache. For instructions google it. I do it every time before I play these certain games and it runs smooth no problems... Only thing is, is that it uninstalls your xbox update's, so you might need to redownload them as needed.,

Used to do that to me. That was when it was plugged into an extension cord. I was told to plug in directly into the wall instead, I did it and no more freezing. Just an idea, hope it helps.

I usually average one freeze a month. The last one was HAWX during a level load. If it was doing it constantly on one game thou, I'd probably check the disc.
