Xbox GTA4 freezing might be a hardware problem

[NYCEMT86]

I am not saying 100% for sure, but I think the freezing might be the result of either the disk drive, overheating, or both.

 

XBox users who are dealing with loading screen or mid-game freezing are still the minority compared to the other 360 users.

 

I experienced freezing mid-game, until I replaced the fans with whisper maxes and got a new Toshiba disk drive. 75 bucks all together.

 

I do not recommend doing this on your own unless you know what your doing or if your warranty is void.

 

 

For those who do have problems, please post the following info:

 

-how long you have had your 360

-what type of 360

-what kind of disk drive

-if you experience problems with any other games, etc.

 

 

For those who don't have a problem with your GTA 4, great keeping playing, just don't post it here.

-2 months

-Xbox Elite falcon.

-BenQ

-nope

 

first when it started freezing I fixed it by loading another save ingame before it froze, but now (just when I finished three leaf clover without autosave) It freezes right after the first loading screen when you start up the game. EDIT Also freezes without a HDD or a Memory stick

 

+Oh and my Elite runs cool not even warm

New (5 Days)

Elite Falcon

BenQ

No

 

I played about 5 hours total (not in one session) and seen 2-3 freezes but now i'm at the "Do you have protection?" mission but i can't finish it because of the random freeze while completing the mission. I don't believe it's related to heat because it's not related to how much i play.

 

EDIT: I cleared the cache and problem still continues
