Why xbox 360 freezes

Thanks for your feedback. I have the same problem, its a bandwith issue and unfortunately their isn't much you can do about. Hey Drums Mcaw! If you're having an issue with your console freezing we'd be happy to help out where we can! Have you tried a wired connection? Or checked out our guide on " Issues with Connection Speed or Disconnects "? Let us know. I get the same problem with a wired connection and virgin also sent an engineer out to sort this and it still freezes.

Hey there Sack! Was the guide above any help? If you don't mind making a fresh thread, we'll be happy to look into this for you. A few questions that can help us narrow what's up will be: What model console do you have? What are you doing when it freezes? How long does the freeze last?

I'm having problems aswell with the slim. I've tried every possible method of sorting it; clearing cache, moving data to a new hard drive, giving it and the PSU more ventilation ect.

Mine started doing the same thing 3 days ago. If your xbox starts responding order a replacement xbox hard drive from device services. Eject it and check it. The title update may be corrupted.
