Been playing Halo since 2001. I know my Halo.

Ok, well I turn on my Xbox 360 today and start playing Gears of War and after 5 min. of playing, it freezes. No error message or anything. So I clean the disk and try playing again thinking it was just the disk(even though it didn't say disk unreadable) and it freezes again within 2 min. By now I'm starting to get worried so I pop in Halo: CE to make sure it was just the disk. What happens? IT FREEZES AND I GET A GRAY SCREEN.

Also, it didn't freeze because of an overload of things going on. I know this because when I started play Halo, the only thing that was going on was the game and the controler.

One more question, could this happen from the Xbox not being played for like a week and it needs to warm up first or no?

I was just wondering if there is anything I can do to try and stop this or do I really have to call Microsoft?

Help would be very appreciated.

I honestly don't know what to tell you, if never had the problem. For professional help, call 1-800-4MY-XBOX, even though you don't want to.

I sent them an e-mail so hopefully they will give me a solution that way(and not by shipping it to them to be fixed)

Now I realized that there is something wrong with the disk drive because it only freezes during a game, not when I'm in the Dashboard(at least, not yet. I'm going to try the Dashboard more to see if its not just the disk drive)
