There are two possible solutions to this issue. One the data that you downloaded either got corrupted during transfer somehow or during a resent save. You should delete all the iformation off your hard drive and start fresh. If this doesnt work try takeing off your hard drive and playing Halo3 if it deosnt freeze you will need to either try the delete method or get a new HD.

If this doesnt solve your issue then it is very possible that your system is headed for the red rings of death. My system was fried after i had played assasins creed. It would freeze up and create this checker pattern on my back ground my system shortly after went red ring.

does it only do it for halo 3? you might have just happen to have a problem starting around the time you updated

sounds like the the processor is over heating and its causing the system to shut down before it burned up the board. basicly your thermal paste between your processor and the heatsink isnt doing its job. there could be a crack on it might have just degraded over time.

this can cause the system to freeze or see things ont he screen. it needs to be repaired before more issues happen.

last sunday, i played halo 3 and the gane started freezing. Now, the freezing is frequent, revealing a checker pattern on the screen. i discovered the system is freezing and not so much the game. the last thing i wanna do is to have to spend $280 to get a new system. How can i fix the problem for good?
