Hello colin bernar, There are two things that can be doing this, 1) the most likely; you have a bad disc, try using a different disc that is the same game. 2) unlikely but my still be the problem would be your xbox is running too hot and overheating which will freeze your game until the processor will cool down.
Hope this helps.

Hi radz_01,

Your system is experiencing a 'general hardware error' and is destined to die very soon.

You should try the X-Clamp replacement fix (tutorials available on x-box scene) or you could try my own fix...

Click on News..

If you are still in warranty however, send it back to Microsoft and they should either replace or repair the console for free

*ChaHee* - What do you mean by 'lags' more explanation is needed here!

SOURCE: xbox 360 freezing during game play

Oh Wow, I am sorry to hear That dude. That has happened to me twice and i have heard to send it in to Cheap - O - Soft(Microsoft) to have it Fixed. What has happened to your Xbox is that it has Overheated, and now the CPU's ( Central processing units) Have broken off their sockets. What happens with the 360 is that when it gets so hot, the motherboard begins flexing against the CPU's, and their restraints called the X- clamps( The things that lock the CPU) and then the CPU breaks off. So your xbox keeps freezing Beacuse of that.
One thing you can do is to send it in to microsoft to have it repaired. just call 1-800-4MY-XBOX and then follow the instructions. But this only works if your xbox is under warranty.
If you are someone that is technically capable, you can open up your Xbox and fix it using this giude. It seems to have worked for many people and they have been glitch free for months. Here is the Link http://www.instructables.com/id/Fix-the-Red-Ring-of-Deathwithout-towels/ . Just follow this and repair your Xbox once and for all. However, that is only if you know and are sure that you are capable of working with delicate electronics. And i heavily reccomend that if your Xbox is still under warranty, that you send it in to them and have it reapaired. Takes about two weeks and is free. Ok then notify me if that works

Most likely your GPU has a broken solder point on the mother board.

try clearing the memory cache

to clear the xbox 360's memory cache,
1. go to the system blade on your menu(should be the very last one)
2. go down to were it says memory, click on it. this should bring up your hard drive or other storage devices, press a on the one you want to empty
3. once youve gotten to the screen were it shows rename or format your storage device, input Y,X,X,LB,RB,X,X and a prompt will come up asking you if you want to empty your systems cache.

My xbox keeps freezing while playing

If your Xbox keeps on freezing up during games then this is normally the start of the red lights, it happens when the GPU and the CPU lose connection, to fix it you need to send it in or you can use a recomended Xbox 360 Repair guide to fix it.

Xbox 360 Freezing during netflix and dvd playback

If you are using a HDMI connection, often the connection will be lost between your xbox and your tv. In my case I simply change to another channel or the other HDMI channel and then back and the secure HDMI connection will be restored.

My xbox feezes

Did you do the towel trick for your RROD? or did you do the erasor fix? because the towel trick wil eventually kill your 360 and if you did the erasor fix or any other Do-it-yourself fix that keeps the gpu from coming loose then what ever is keeping it from becoming loose might be too thick and cause stress on your motherboard which can freeze up the system at any time.

My XBox 360 freezes

Well if these spot are consistent on certain disks time after time it is most likely a scratch, smudge or defect on the disk. check them all for scratches and if they are dirty try to clean them very gently with a soft cloth. This would only really concern your actual console if it occurs during heavy game loading or at the same spot during a load. Try cleaning all your disks and get back to me. GL
