    Here's the deal.... my xbox froze this morning using netflix.  I turned it off and back on, when i turned it on it red ringed.  So of course I turned it off and back on. I load dashboard no problem, so i finished watching my movie. Now I'm playing some COD and it keeps freezing.  It isn't red ringing, just freezing up.  Any suggestions?
      I thought I heard that microsoft won't replace the box if it is not red ringing, any truth behind that? Thanks for the help.

    There's obviously a hardware fault. Next time it red rings, check to see if it's still in warranty and get it repaired for free.

    Not this. You better have uber skills, cause if you go any further then removing the face plate, that is an insta void warranty.

    My Xbox's did that before they finally red ringed. It will first start freezing, you restart it and it runs, it freezes again...... same process will happen for a few days until you try turning it on and there are the 3 lights blinking in your face. In short its gonna be dead soon.
     
    Also they send you a refurbished Xbox if you send your dead one in to them.
