shoouldnt be the laser since i go straight to dashboard when i turn my xbox on not the disk ill try the other things though thanks

if ur 360 is freezing with all games, then your heatsinks are probably taking a shit. particularly the gui heatsink.

doewsnt freeze playing the game just if i turn my xbox on wiuth a disk in the drive it freezes on the start up screen i have the opean the disk drive close it then restart with no disk in seems like it can lead to a bigger problem i was thinking od selling it to gamestop and just getting a new arcade just to be safe
