i have had my xbox for a year now n every time i play a game or go it the dashboard it locks up or lags really bad u guys think there is any way to fix it

Thats just a general XBOX fault does the light on your Xbox turn red or go orange..It could be because of a lose connection or a overheating problem

Lagging and freezing sound like a heat problem. Make sure that your XBox is in a well ventilated area. Also, make sure that your XBox is relatively free of dust. If you look at the back of the box, make sure there isn't a bunch of dust collected on the fan grill. If there is, then there is plenty inside your XBox as well.

thanks guys i'll try that tonight and get back to u guys thanks but i don't think its that but anything is wroth a shot to fix it

It could also be the dodgy plug or power supply that came out wit the original xbox's Microsofts replaced them now with better ones..But definately sounds like heat more than anything

Thr light on the will go orange and green when the av multi out is disconnected, I have never come across an xbox that has overheated so it could be that

Modchip and new hard drive. Check xbox-scene.com.

thanks

Mod chips and a new HDD doesn't have to be the answer. If you do go that route though, make sure you don't use a larger HDD if you want to play XBox Live unless you know where to hide the extra space.

If all else fails, you can sell it to EBGames or somewhere else and use that money to get a different one.

Sounds to me like it's the hard drive. I had a 60 gig hard drive do that on mine. The more things I put on the hard drive, the slower it got. I replaced the hard drive and the problem was fixed. I would test a spair hard drive to see if that's the problem.
