And you are trying everything you can to juice out maximum fun out of it? Your Xbox is showing unseen characters recently, and is freezing all the time? The fact would relieve you off your tension, when you come to know that this is a problem faced by almost everyone; in fact there are many out there, braking their head over why their 2k7 Xbox 360 freezes. Today we'll try to discuss it from the top to bottom, of what the symptoms are, where to look for, and how can it be corrected.
In most of the cases, 2k7 Xbox 360 freezes without displaying any kind of error messages. You have to be sure of this fact before you can proceed further. If at all you are getting any kind of error messages after the 2k7 Xbox 360 screen freezes, you should check with the Microsoft website for further reference. There are many areas where your screen might be getting stuck up, say; wait for the console to start, or while you are trying to play a game, it might also be getting stuck at Xbox Guide or Xbox Dashboard. Make one thing clear that you are not getting any kind of error messages and the freezing might happen at any point of time.
It is not uncommon for when it comes to the freezing issue, first you have to determine if it's happening only on few occasion or happens frequently. Ventilation is a major thing is which leads to the freezing problem when not done efficiently. Do not use your Xbox on a sofa, bed or couch where the ventilation might get blocked. When you provide proper ventilation, the Xbox should stop freezing. If that doesn't work, try disconnecting the accessories of Xbox and start from scratch, remove the hard disk too, and if its not working only after connecting the hard drive, then probably the problem lies with the hard disk, you can rectify by clearing the cache of the hard disk. You can clear the hard disk cache by going into the "device options" which is there in "memory". Restart with another game profile and most probably, this should solve your problem. You have to try this after deleting the old saved games (yeah we can understand you worked hard to get there, but practice will make you more perfect).
A few times the freezing issue can occur during online game play, so determine after an extensive online play whether issue lies with offline or online game play. Thus try offline gaming first and then jump over to online gaming. Most of the times its online gaming where your 2k7 Xbox 360 freezes. Sometimes it is the settings of the console, which creates problem, if you have set it to PAL, change it to PAL 60 and see if you can notice any difference.
Many of the times, it is the Disk, which you are using for playing the game. Problems arise while using some specific kind of disk, say movies or games. You can diagnose this by extensively using one kind of disks first and noticing the console's response. If it is particular-disk issue, get the disk cleaned and try it again. You might get lucky.
