Umm that happend to me And i then i saw somthing on youtube on how to fix your Xbox 360, and i tryed it and it worked.
What you do is Wrap it in Towels cover all the air vents with towels and turn it on and leave it for 15 - 20 mins, then take the towels off and turn it on and it should work?
Even in Oblivion - clearing the cache would be useless. A patch isn't stored as cached memory...
It may very well be impossible to remove an already downloaded/applied patch (unless you can find a way in the System blade). Once it's applied, it basically embeds itself with the game - booting everytime the game is loaded.
Try looking in the System -> Memory area in your dashboard. If you find a file which isn't a game save, isn't a picture pack, etc - TRY removing it. I DO NOT RECOMMEND doing this ... but if the game is literally unplayable - it may be the last resort.
Ever think the problem could be elsewhere? (i.e. a scratch on the disk?)

Nope no scratches on the disk. I checked the saved files and there were no patches. any other suggestions?
