I recently moved and when i set up my 360 it seems to freeze after about 10 minutes of use. I've tried a couple games and even just on the dashboard.

Now it doesn't seem to be overheating because it doesn't feel hotter than normal. It's upright, nothing around it, and in the open. The power supply is on the lyno floor and not surrounded by anything.

Am I screwed? Is this console on it's way out? Or is there anything I can do here?

indeed on how long have you had it and also id never stand an xbox up personally mainly because the main vent hole is on the bottom giving it limited fresh air to suck in ...and also older boxes and probably newer ones too (i dont personally know) give your discs halo scratches more frequently ....and not to straight up say hey your xbox is going to die but mine froze for the first 2 times on MW2 then threw its ring at me :/ ...all you can do is prepare by feeding it fresh air and hope your 3 year red ring/e74 warranty is still there ....GL man

Yep. The 360 has great games, but the hardware (especially the older consoles) are absolutely pathethic in build quality. You might as well go ahead and start looking at a new system. I bought a new one last year, and it works great. They have worked out a lot of the kinks. It's also ridiculous that you have to basically buy two consoles because of their faulty design.

P.S. Find your warranty stuff. If you have had it for less than 3 years, they will repair it at no charge to you.
