So I was trying to play some NHL 07 the other day and my Xbox froze. I thought nothing of it, went "meh" it happens and restarted. This happened again. Lines go all up my screen and it freezes up. I left it for a bit and went back to it, this time it didn't do that, it just shut off after about 3 minutes.

Today I was trying to play the Smackdown vs Raw 2007 demo and it shut down again. The Xbox at this point is hot as hell. I have never had any problems what so ever until this point.

Now I can't even play a game without my Xbox shutting down after a few minutes due to over heating. I have an intercooler fan that does nothing, the console still shuts down. (Note, I connected this after I started having the problem of the console shutting down).

I'm thinking it's time to cash in on this warranty I have and get it fixed or something. *Goes to call Microsoft.*

Heat sink or thermal paste on the CPU being crap is my guess.

Sorry dude. I'm shipping mine out tomorrow. Hopefully it comes back fast. I haven't played Saints Row and FIFA in a while.

I called them and I see nothing has changed with their customer support lines - horrible. Meh. I'll be shipping it out this week I guess.
