System freezez every 5 minutes-no red rings

I've had my system for a couple years, only ever had the occasional freeze/disc read error.

Now I can't finish a match in FIFA or COD without it freezing.  This has been going on for about a week.  It's driving me nuts.  No red rings.  What can/should I do about this? 

freezes to the point where you have to restart the console or freezes for a few seconds and is fine again?

I have had both problems and for the first one i mentioned nothing seemed to fix it so i had to call Microsoft and send it in. There are a few things you should try though. Unplug everything from you xbox and wait like 3 minutes then plug it all back in, if it still freezes take off the hard drive and play the game that freezes most and see if it will still freeze if it doesnt you made need a new hard drive. o before you do any of that stuff clear your cache by going to system>memory>hit "Y"> and then hit "xx LB RB xx"( it maybe be LB RB XX LB RB)>yes and see if that helps. if none of this stuff works call Msoft.

If it just freezes for a few seconds then is fine unplugging everything and clearing the cache worked for me

sorry about my grammar I am tired
