HDMI cable causing xbox freeze and connection problems

It seems that your Graphic card cant handle the HD . I really dont know what to tell you

Try to reset the display settings.

Switch the Xbox off and turn it on with the controller. Press the Guide button to turn it on and press the RIGHT trigger and Y at the same time until the Xbox logo appears. That should reset the display settings.

It won't be the cable that is causing your freezing.  The 360 doesn't use more processing power when you switch between 720p and 1080p.

I suggest you try reseting the display settings.  Try using your old component cables to test.

The display setting on the xbox or the TV? i have the same problem, sort of. When i switched to my component cables, it never froze, but when i put back in the HDMI cable, it would either just cut to black, or some weird textured and odd colored screen. so i presume it's the cable. am i right?

Try to use other set of hdmi cable. Sound´s like a cable issue.

I'm going to try to reset my display settings on my XBox S when I picked it up later today.  I've always used HDMI for my XBox but a few weeks ago it started to freeze at random times.  I thought that perhaps it was heat related so I made sure it was clean and placed a large fan directly on the system, it stayed cool to the touch.  I still had freezing issues.  I put it on another tv with a different HDMI cable and it still froze.  At first it would go an hour or two but toward the end it would freeze during bootup or shortly after.

One thing that I noticed is that a couple of times when I booted up the system, the display was all out of wack as if it was set to 480 or something like that.  The icons were huge and I wasn't able to see the entire screen.  After a reset, it would go back to normal.

I dropped it off with a friend to look at since he has experience with the fat XBox, he plugged it up via the components and he said it ran for 2 hours last night just fine.  He hasn't touched anything internally.  I'm going to bring it home and plug it up via component and see if it still works just fine, if so, I will then connect it via HDMI again to see if problem repeats itself.  I'm going to try the R stick + Y deal to see if that'll cure the problem.
