Here you would find out how to fix the Xbox 360 screen freeze that occurs while in play. The freeze does not show any error message before it takes place and the game pad becomes totally unresponsive. You have to turn off the console from the power button and then put it back on again.

Causes of the Xbox 360 screen freezing error?

Well this error is caused by the motherboard bending because of excess heat within the system.
It may seem strange to know that if you put your hand on the device it may not necessarily be hot but within it is a lot of heat trapped and the cooling components are not getting the job done properly.

As a result of the heat the motherboard bends ever so slightly and then the soldering breaks off and then the screen freeze is on.

Fix the error?

The best thing to do to fix this error is get the power brick off the floor and also get a fan to plug into the back of the console and give it some additional cooling.

Reoccurrence of the freeze would progress into the 3 red light error.

So for a permanent fix you need to do one of two things. You can either get the best method available which is getting the Xbox 360 repair guide for an easy fix or you can use the lesser one which is to send your console over to Microsoft.

The repair guide gets the job done for you saving your time and money unlike Microsoft.
