The latest 2008 xbox 360 freezing issues and solutions do not appear to be going away anytime soon.  The problems keep growing and more and more gamers are becoming frustrated over the xbox 360 system.  Some gaming magazines report that as many as one third of all xbox 360 units sold will have freezing issues within one year.  Microsoft refuses to replace units with this problem and will charge a hefty price to fix units with this problem.  You will also have to wait six weeks while your xbox is being repaired.

What is Freezing?

When your xbox system freezes it is because your console is overheated.  Your xbox console has faulty cooling mechanisms over an extended period of time.  Not being able to cool properly forces the gaming system to freeze so that it does not melt your internal hardware.  The problem is often referred to as Error e37.  I am not sure what the other thirty six error messages are but the issue of freezing due to overheating is the most common problem with the xbox units and also the most expensive to fix if you send it to Microsoft. 

Fix It Yourself!

Do not let those three red lights scare you.  The truth is with an easy to follow repair guide you can fix this problem all on your own in about an hour.  From opening the xbox unit to correcting the problem you can learn this simple process all on your own.  Using a few common household tools you can repair your xbox and be playing your games again in as little as sixty minutes.  Do not reward Microsoft with more money for a problem they created and refused to fix.  You can do it yourself and will be able to help others when they ask you how you were able to fix your system when the problem occurred.
