Answer 2

I've had two xbox's die on me.   LUckily I had extra warranty on those piece of crraps and got another.  They're good when they're good.  But they can go bad quickly.  Primarily because of heat   So I got a external fan (like 6-8 inch) to suck the heat outfrom it's vents.  

Always make it sit vertical and not horizontal.  Try not to put it ina cabinet and play . If you do, even if the cabinet is open you need to put a good fan inside the cabinet so it can suck the hot air ouside of the cabinet very well 100%.  Otherwise your xbox will die soon.

Also its best not to move the xbox around once it is situated in one place.  The drive mechanism is very senstive and it's the first to die.   Never move it around when it's working or turned on.   Treat it like a little baby.   I learnt my lessons.

What I do is, Iput it in a cabinet vertically and put two fans next to it, and leave the cabinet open and the fans blow the hot hair fully outside when I'mplaying.  Also make sure your room itself is not too hot.  It should be less than 85 degrees farenheit in the room.  Sometimes when I play for long hours, I try to keep the room cool by leaving the a/c on and keep the temp., below 80.

and also use the venting fans.   More venting the better.

Answer 3

3 red rings is bad, it might have gone away. but Something is already wrong internally.

You need to call 1 800 4 (my xbox)

I've noticed with my last 2 red rings of death, that it was because I had my xbox plugged into a power strip. It is important to plug you're 360 directly into you're wall.

If it's freezing a lot it's because of an internal problem. Call that number and see if you still got warranty on it. If not they will still fix it for about $100.

Answer 4

It might be freezing because your playing it too much, or you should check/clean your game disks.
