Answer 1

do you own an older model? if so, you may need to look into getting a new one.  It may be "the red ring of death" which happens often with 360s . . . and there is no turning back.

Answer 2

You didn't mention if you had the RED RINGs or not.  I have the same issue of the screen just STOPPING.    freezing......No red lights.  This happens on New games I have noticed.  I was playing FUEL OF WAR-FRONTLINES and all of a sudden i had RED RINGS.....I went out and bought another XBOX 360 and now i have the issue with freezing during game play.  I bought a lap top cool pad that plugs into the front USB ports and have a fan blowing on it now and it seems to run better.  One of the XBOX sites in their Q&A section stated that one way to avoid this freezing issue is to play different games to clear the memory and check your wires and cooling.

Answer 3

Is your Xbox 360 Flashing red lights? IF so please explain which quadrants are flashing.

My Xbox is currently under repair in texas because of overheating.

They're going to charge me $100 to fix a faulty machine that they created.
