Rob B is totally wrong, it has nothing to do with your 360 over heating or going to have the Red Ring Of Death. I am having the same problem too. Some of the old xbox games are compatible with 360 but some have bugs that do in some case render them unable to play to optimal performance. Try switching your display settings, I have one game that won't play at all unless my display is at 480p

You will soon have the dreaded Red ring of death, does the system freeze up while watching dvd's or while playing original xbox games. If not I am most likely correct in my assumption. I fix xbox 360's in my spare time so I have seen alot of them freezing prior to getting the rrod. Hope this helps, as long as you are within 3 years of the manufacture date on the back call 1-800-4myxbox to get it repaired

I hate to break it to you, but you may have gotten the Red Ring Of Death. It happens when playing a game and it is transmitted through online play through Xbox Live. 3 red lights will appear around the power button when your console has become infected. The Red Ring of Death may have infected your console causing it to shut down. Most Xbox 360 consoles won't turn back on but some do turn back on but they just won't play games, they will freeze up and have the dotted lines and make the buzzing noise. I'm sorry, but I think you may need a new console. You're in luck if it's still under warranty. Hope this helps!!!!

see if youre disk is cracked in the circle and make sure all the cords are plugged

THATS BECAUSE YOU'RE A STUPID **************... HAHAHAHAHAHA

overheating can cause problems like that, and 360s are prone to overheating

to fix this, go here.

Same problem as the 3 red light error in most cases. As far as freezing.

One red light is different. Check the error codes here.

It's a common fault with X boxes, the red lights indicate overheating, so make sure it is well ventillated and if neccasary you can purchase an add on cooler for the system.
