Ok I have had my Xbox 360 for about 6 months. Since that time I had no issues with it, until I bought Halo 3. The Halo 3 I purchased from Ebay was in perfect condition. After placing it in the DVD Drive and loading it. All was going well, until I hit the Main Menu. The music played and froze. Thinking it was a one time thing I cleaned it and tried again, and again, and again. It froze in the same place every single time. So by that time I thought it was the disc. So I took it over my friends house and placed it in his 360, and it worked fine. Brought it back home and the same result occurred. So then i thought it was I asked him to bring his game to see if it worked, nope same result. After that I thought it was possible the update could be corrupt so I deleted all my Cache for all games and re-updated. Same result. Highly irritated and desperate I called Microsoft and they said that it could be the hardrive. So I took out the hardrive and ran it, same result. What the is the issue with this? This is the only game in my whole collection that does this. It freezes in the same exact place everytime on any Halo 3 copy. My 360 is a 2008 model, so I don't know what's the issue. Do anyone know what's going on here?

The reason that this freeze up issue happens is because the GPU and the CPU and the soldering that holds the 2 together has becomes loose and you will need to get it fixed.
To do this you can send it in, or repair it yourself from home
Did you find solution? I have same problem with Ninety-Nine Nights (has worked before dashboard update), BIGS2 ( also with the BIGS2 demo), rock band: beatles.
I've tried installing the game to HD, without HD, formating HD, logged to live, install new 23 sep. 09 update, reset factory defaults etc. Every other game works just fine (nhl, nfl, crackdown, rock band 1&2, gt:wt, UFC etc.)
Which DVD drive do you have? I have BENQ. Box has MFD 2007
TRY THIS THERE IS A RUBBER BANDLOOKING THING THAT SPINSU DVD TAKE IT OFF AND CLEAN IT SEE IF IT HELP AND IF ITS A FLASED XBOX 360 THAN U NEED TO UPGRADE THE FLASH ON UR XBOX 360

My xbox has been put together from two xbox's(one of which had broken and the other that was fine but was lacking hard drive and other acessories.)So, I put both of them together and it works fine. Except it runs the discs very rough and the console has trouble reading them. It starts up fine, but when it tries to read discs it's very loud and sounds like its scratching them but it doesnt. Also, when it does read discs it will show some of the game, but a little ways into it the problem screen shows uo saing there is a scratch on the disc (the discs are perfectly readable). I feel like the discs sets off the track or is not running on the reader right. Any suggestions?
