I had recently gotten an Xbox 360 for christmas. It's been running great until I purchased Fable 2. For some reason, every 15-20 minutes of playing the game freezes up. It did not cease, so I exchanged it for another copy. I got the same results. All other games work fine. Around one month later I purchased The Orange Box, and a similar problem occured. This time, it only froze 1/3 of the time when it was within 30-40% of loading. After around half-way loading, it never froze. I tried to exchange this game for another copy, but they didn't have any more in stock. So a few days ago I purchased a used copy of The Orange Box at Gamestop. It still has the same problem, and now it freezes in-game. The other games that I got were from Best Buy.

So what's the problem? I think it's my Xbox. Ive had similar problems like this in the past with my PS2, some games it just doesn't want to play. What should I do? I already looked up the Microsoft website, but it didn't help much.

Any suggestions?

No idea, but try asking here.

Are you connected to Live? There might be an update required that you can't receive to fix your freezing issue.

Try installing them to the hard drive. I had the same problem with Fable II and this fixed it.

sounds like a firmware problem. Definitely check for system updates.
