XBOX 360 Locking up, Help please Options

[mritchey]

I would like to know if I am alone in this problem. My 360 locks up (stops responding requiring me to turn it off and back on) at various times lately for no specific reason that I can see. Sometimes I will be running through the woods and cast a healing spell and it locks up. Sometimes I will open a storage container in my house or something like that. Anybody notice it on their systems and/or know of a fix for it?

I tried this "A" thing, but for a slightly different problem. I have the occasional freeze, but I just learnt to accept it as a fact that microsoft make shoddy consoles. Anyway the problem I used this to solve is as follows. I recently got to a certain part in the main quest, there are oblivion gates everywhere and I have a high level character who has explored lots of areas.

Just recently I started having to wait a stupid amount of time when loading, for example leaving building. I have a hard drive and this hasnt happened before. I was also having minor freezes in game, where the music continues, but everything else pauses for about 15-20 seconds. Like I said it solved my in game temporary freezing, but it seems the loading times have continued.
