If you are experiencing this problem, this may work for you... It helped me... only after deleting my Burnout Revenge Savegame and ringing XBOX360 support (I'm in Australia by the way).
Try signing out of any active profiles and removing any discs from the drive, then using the following button combination, reset you XBOX360 hard drive cache: X, X, Left Bumper, Right Bumper, X, X. Then sign back in to the profile and reload your game, this may work, if not, turn the unit off and leave it off for approx 2 minutes and then repeat the above sequence, again logging out of any gamer profiles before resetting the cache. Once again, the reset cache button combination is as follows: X, X, Left Bumper, Right Bumper, X, X. Good luck and I hope this helps you out... SteddyNX01

Two of my brothers and I have had a 360 and all have failed. My brother in law had his for about a year until it failed and then had to pay out the s to get it fixed. My brother had his for about a week and it failed, but returned it right away and got a new one from Wal-Mart. My 360 worked fine until 2 days ago and now won't even come on. I had to call for support only to talk to someone speaking a form of english that I can't interpret. Now I have to send it to microsoft so that they can fingerf%$ck it so I may play it for another six months give or take. The only people I know who own a 360 have had it fail, all of them! Go for the Sony or the Wii and you might get your money"s worth.

I found the solution to the games freezing (as long as its not a dirty disc error). Well it worked for me anyway.... The problem is the HARD DRIVE on your 360 console.
My R6 Vegas started freezing constantly and it was pissing me off! So then I put in NFS Carbon and the same thing happened. Sometimes it froze during the XBOX logo screen at start up. Ever start your xbox and get the red lights around the power button? That means your hard drive is not connected. I noticed this a few times so I pulled out the hard drive (MAKE SURE THE UNIT IS OFF) and put it back in. When you put it back in, press down on it real hard so it makes a good conncetion. If it is loose, the spin of the disc will vibrate it just enough to cause an error and freeze the game. I put somthing HEAVY on top of it (my xbox is standing vertical) so the vibrations wouldn't cause it to loosen. Thank Microsoft for shoddy construction. For $400 the hardware should be flawless. None of my games have frozen since. And I did this immediately after I had about 3 games freeze on me.

I got my 360 at launch and had only freezing problems with games with glitches like madden 06 and mlb 2k6. I too have been updating my 360 whenever one pops up but the most recent was a game update. This pops up once you leave dashboard and enter the games main title screen. BEWARE....for those of you you havent updated. I followed microsofts online support and then called after failure to deliver. My powersource light was reading fine, the operator told me it was a hardware failure. BS!!! It was the damn update. I'm affraid after my three week waiting period that after i give them my 360 with a 20 gig HD then send me back a 10 gig HD, and somehow i have the same damn problem. WONT DOWNLOAD ANYMORE UPDATES FOR SURE THOUGH!!!! Breaks one more time and i will lose all my faith and support in Microsoft and become a sony believer. And might just have to swallow my americana pride and sell my 360 and drop almost a c-note on Sonys next gen- the also highly flawed PS3. GREAT JOB TO BOTH COMPANYS FOR DELIVERING SUCH GREAT PRODUCTS TO THE INTERNATIONAL CONSUMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just bought an XBOX 360 yesterday and it came with MotoGP i nthe box so I played that for a lil while yesterday and then I popped in COD3 ... The game was playing fine until I got to the church and then it froze, then I turned it off and started playing again ... it made it past the church this time but froze again later ... so I'm sick of the game ... my XBOX is brand new there isn't even an update on it, it hasn't been connected to live so I don't see how it could be updated, MotoGP plays fine with no freezes at all ... BUT I did notice that COD3 once you put it in for the first time you have to update your box in order to play it ... I believe this is the patch from the COD3 Disc itself ... like I said I haven't connected my xbox to broadband yet and Im getting the same problem ...

got the same problem after update, no redlights it just won't let me play games for more than five minutes. I've just sent an email and if that doesn't work then i'm going to call them. I got the console at launch and apparently the dick drives on one in four consoles was made by a shoddy company that they fired, so all new consoles should be ok, hopefully i will still get a free repair...

Updated my xbox 360 last night after being gone all break and the damn thing started freezing on me, won't even turn on all the way now. What the hell was in that patch? My box has worked fine since I got it 6 months ago, and I'm to assume it randomly stopped working the same night Microsoft put a patch out?

I also had the same issue after the most recent update to my Xbox 360. I was able to play with no real issue unit I went online and got the most recent patch now all the games lock up as some point it is pretty much random from what I seen. I called MS support about it and pretty much they gave me the standard hardware fixes to try which did nothing and of course they wanted me to send back the system and charge me like $180.00 to fix the problem. Of course I said no way to that. I hope that they put out a patch for the patch.. Makes me think more about getting PS3 and dumping this unit but not at that point yet. But this is kind of quality you should expect from MS.

Bricked last night and I refuse to pay, as I have treated my 360 with great care. I've contacted via e-mail and phone with no results. I've been really loyal to them since the first XBOX, but I'm thinking seriously about Sony right now. After all this stupidity, 600 bucks isn't lookin' so bad.

MS owes everyone with a crashed system a free repair. $139.00 to fix their poor tech problems put over the $500 price. This is wrong! This company has no integrity...we should all band together and as a consolidated block tell MS fix this problem or hear about in the news everyday until you do the right thing. I all about capitalism but this is robbery and fruad. I refuse to believe that MS didn't know that they had a problem on their hands...they just wanted to get as much money as they could...bet Sony...and deal the problems later. they have 1.7 million of these consoles out there...I think they made thier money, now its time they paid up for their wrongs...

I knew it was that damn patch. I wasn't sure at first but after looking through all the post here I'm sure that's the problem. I tried everthing MS recommended to fix the freezes but of course nothing worked. There should be a way to delect the last patch or at least go back to the last one that worked.

Mine didn't start freezing directly after the update. Seemed to start after playing COD3. Now freezes on any game about 2-3 minutes in and also on the Dashboard.

I've had COD3 for about a week then I get the freeze. I called support and they say it's a hardware failure and that I have to pay $140 plus shipping to get it fixed! Total B.S.!!! This XBox360 is so half a55 compared to the original XBox. I should have known that there crappy software would translate back to the game system.
