Need more details, it could be your backups. How do you make them and what media do you use?

lol where did i mention i used backups :P
but good guess cause i do
i know its not the backups because i took another drive i know works and flashed it to the others key and its the same thing..
and it freezes on originals too
edit:: when i first flashed it it worked perfectly for 3 weeks, just now started being wack
reedit :: it freezes on call of duty also... i wasnt getting far enough..always freezes when its loading
and i had xtreme 5.3 on it, and now it has ixtreme 1.4 because i thougth maybe it could have been the fw.
its an MS28

i would say if you switched drives, and still had the same problem it would be the discs.....as that process would have ruled out that it was the drive.

Swap out your power brick with friends and see if it still freezes.

First , Freezing leads to the 3 rings. Twice this happened to mine. Sorry the info wasn't helpful. I'm not tring to advertize. I am not afilliated with Xbox 360-Pros. It's just that they did such a nice job fixing my xbox after it was fixed by xbox 1/2 a year ago.

Hey guys....I thought i'd jump into this post rather than start a new one. I've searched other posts, but can't find one that matches as close to this one for the problem I'm having...plus, alot of these posts are a year old or more, which doesn't help me.
I just bought a 360 for Christmas '07...got the BenQ drive in it, HDMI, Falcon chip...you get the idea. Anyway, I flashed it to ixtreme 1.4, started burning backups at 2.4 using Verbatims. Generally, i'm really busy, so I haven't had the chance to play much since I bought the machine. I've really just been playing for 30-40 mins. when I can. Anyway...backups seemed to work fine, but now, all of a sudden I'm getting a loud static noise anywhere from 10 min. into a game up to an hour into the game. Sometimes the games freeze, sometimes not. Other times, they do weird things on the screen. I thought it was my backups, maybe bad burns or something, so I put my originals in, same deal. I don't know if I have a bad 360 or what. I mean, this first started happening with Guitar hero III...not exactly a processing, graphics intense game. Any ideas? I bought it at Costco, and am pretty sure they'll take it back without a problem...but I want to make sure it's not something I'm overlooking. I could flash it back to original and send it off to MS (since I have my sticker on wax paper), but really...I paid good $$ for this machine for barely a few hours worth of playing. I don't want to get someone else's 'fixed' Xbox in return for my brand spanking new one? NO THANKS! Anyone else have this problem? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
