Sometimes game freezes are accompanied by garbled sprites, various vertical lines and other scrambled graphics pixels and/or tiles. In very rare cases, the music (and not the remaining sounds) can be the only thing to freeze, leaving the game still playable. Sometimes, a freeze will play no sound, even if there was a sound being played before the freeze. Frequently, a loop or constant replay of whatever sound was being played prior to the freeze will be played. Game freezes are often accompanied by an odd buzzing sound however, sometimes the normal music for wherever the player was before the game froze can be heard. Games on modern consoles may show an error message and then quit, instead of showing a frozen screen and looping or frozen sound effects. Game freezes are not limited to handheld systems, and it is possible for some home consoles to freeze up during gameplay. A Game Boy Advance Pokémon game may freeze if the GBA itself is shocked by static electricity.
The game may also freeze if it is dropped, hit by any major force, has a dirty game cartridge/card, has been physically removed from the slot, or even if it is played on a faulty system (such as a Game Boy Color with low battery level).
On rare occasions, incorrect cheats may possibly render the save file unplayable and corrupted. Incorrect cheat codes used on cheating devices such as Action Replay or GameShark can result in game freezes. For instance, there is a higher probability of the game freezing when the player tries tweaking. The most common cause of a game freeze is the game being given too many tasks at once. Older cartridges and systems are also more prone to freezing than newer ones.
They also occur when performing glitches such as the Mew glitch incorrectly. Game freezes can occur due to invalid or unrelated information being input into the game, such as when walking out of the boundaries of an area.
