The freeze is a lot more than a tease and many times frustration is an under statement, especially when you turn off the console and then turn it back on and find that it is frozen. The main reason this happens is because of overheating. The console system in general can overheat but there's also more technical parts that can overheat, which is actually the main source of the problem.

When those evil 3 red lights appear it's usually down to the General Processor Unit (GPU).

The GPU is programmed to shut off if it becomes overheated which is why the screen freezes.

You can't possibly stop the system from shutting down when it is over heated but you can certainly stop it from over heating simply by getting a fan that would blow air into the system, keeping it in an airy place and dusting it properly regularly.

The system may not have reached the 3 red lights problem but if it keeps shutting down it is prone to the problem.

So you can actually go through the rigorous stress of sending it to Microsoft for repairs or you get it done easily, stresslessly and cheaply just by getting he step by step repair guide and you are done.

Let me tell you something you possibly did not know and that is the fact that, for Microsoft to repair your console you would have to pay so much if you are no longer under the warranty and they will take a lot of your time in wait.
