My XBoX had shut down multiple times during a particular part of a particular mission on Prototype, and at first I thought maybe it was reacting to a defect on the disc so installed the game, but it still does it. Same time and place. Its a very hectic sequence and its possible its overheating while processing events, but regardless, I'm getting 2 red lights. When I touch my baby after it shuts down it doesn't feel any hotter than usual. I was wondering how the heck I can deal with this.

(Its also kind of suspicious that my XboX start doing this a week after my one year warranty expired. The one I paid $100 for to get this fixed after suffering the RRoD. I wouldn't put it past Microsoft to place timed mechanisms in the console to fuck everything up at a very convinient time for them to make more money.)

Fail

It could totally be the year thing, mine first one died one day before the warrenty expired (thank goodness it was a day late) but the (brand new, sealed etc.) replacement died 3 months later. The replacement for that has already shown a red ring though it has recovered. 

That is strange, you should call up Microsoft Customer Support. The number is 1-800-4MY-XBOX.

You can get a replacement for $50 through amazon if you act quick (do this by tomorrow basically). Just get together a bunch of games you don't want anymore. For me it was 10 of my DS and PS2 games that I will never ever play again. Great deal if you ask me.
