Xbox freezing during game play seems to be yet another one on the long list of problems that gamers have had with the console.

    So how can you fix it?

Freezes are usually to do with overheating, a common problem with the Xbox.
Most gamers have turned off the console for a couple of hours – although this usually works it’s inconvenient when you’re in the middle of a game and totally unacceptable considering it’s poor design that causes the overheating.

You can take some preventative measures – using your adapter on the carpet will increase the chances of overheating, so put it on a hard surface. Plastic, wood, metal – basically anything that isn’t carpet or fabric.

Cables should also be kept on hard surfaces and not pressed against the wall or any other object.

Changing the resolution can also help if freezing happens often. Turn your Xbox on without a game inserted and you’ll get to the main menu. Select Console Settings, Display and HDTV Settings. From here you can change the resolution from 1080i to 720p. Although the image may be a little less crisp your Xbox is less likely to overheat as it doesn’t have to work as hard, and so freezing won’t happen as much.

Xbox freezing is all part of a larger problem with Xbox and Xbox 360 – overheating. Making sure you keep your Xbox away from heat sources: radiators, TVs, computers and monitors, and on a flat, hard surface (not sofas, carpet or beds) will usually prevent overheating and mean you can keep gaming without freezing
