His xbox 360 is freezing all the time. It's been a gradual increase over the last 4 months or so. The xbox is in a well ventilated area, but there seems to be a decent ammount of dust build up. Forza was the first game to freeze with a dirty disc error and gradually as time past Halo 3 joined followed by NHL08 and Saints Row. With GTA4 coming out he wants these problems solved. So how effective do you think this will be. I was gonna suggest he get a CD lense cleaner and an air duster to hopefully clear out the dust. Has anyone solved xbox freezing issues doing this?
Your 2 ideas are great and pretty much the only options at this point. i know I'm anal but I actually cover my 360 up whenever I'm not playing it to keep the dust off - and of course always put the games back in their cases when they aren't being played.
I would say try the lens cleaner. I was having a problem were every game I put in would come up saying unplayable disk, but I was able to watch some movies and play CDs in it. I used a lens cleaner and it fixed it. The air duster may blow the dust out, but it could blow it farther into the system as well so I don't know about that.
maby lense claner idk about the air could cause more problems by blowing the dust around but do it since it aready freezing
and to 2 post you dont need put the disc in case because wont get dirty while in the 360 lol
and coming it up the system? lol dust will fall on top of it not in it. dust is every where u cant get alway from it

Leaving a disk in the system can ruin the disk. I have had it happen, luckily it was only a few days after I bought it, and it left marks on it from sitting in the system.
