All my games seem to freeze at the moment.some after 1 minute of the console being on and some after 15, some games work perfectly fine,like the demos they seem to be okay. Games that crash are:

 

Fifa 07 (rarely crashes)

gears of war(every god damn time, after 5 minutes)

 graw 2 demo (played once, crashed after 10 minutes)

graw 1 real game (never had a problem in the past just started to do it the last time i played it)

 

I had the 3 rings problem at one point with the console i originally had, n they sent the one i have now back to me. 

 

 Anyone aware of what the problem is, do i need one of this cooler systems, or is it not the solution if the problem occurs after 5 mins?

yeh thats what im considering, i checked...itll cost me 80 quid to "repair" it and if it cannot be repaired they send me another one out, which willbe a crappy refurbished one that will prollie have similar problems. or i can chance gettin a coller thing for 20 quid, but that cud be a waste of money if the system crashes after 5 or 10 minutes

hmm 20 quid for a cooler that cud fix the problem, or 80 quid for a mended/refurbished one - or wait for elite to come out in the UK and pay the extra which may be a fair bit?

The coolers use the 360's own power source - adding extra stress to the 360s PSU and actually causing it to overheat. They do more harm than good, which is why the use of an intercooler automatically voids your 360's warranty. Don't bother. See if you can get an extended warranty from MS, if not then I would start arguing with them about the cost of the repair - they might reduce it if you shout long and hard enough about it.

If you send your xbox back for freezing problems do they fix it or do they just send you a new one?

ive done it once before, they try n fix it, if they cant they send u a "mended refurbished one"from repairs, but u get a year warrantry with it, so if that one doesnt work in that year they send u another one for free
