Xbox 360 Freezing? Here's a Solution
The problems and errors with the 360 have been few, though despite how blown up I like to make anything wrong with something of Microsoft and it's products. As we reported earlier this week there have been many problems found with the 360's crashing and many other things, the solution however is about as laughable as the problems. As common sense as this may seem still it seems countless made the same mistakes.
The main problem seems to be an overheating of the console and/or power supply, this is caused for 1 simple reason and that is lack of ventilation. Despite this being a console you have to release it is very much like the PC that you are more than likely resting your feet on at the moment(:P). An Xbox 360 like your PC cannot be in some like closed area, though I really wonder how enclosed the consoles and power supplies are, considering how large the power supply is there really is no way of hiding it to begin with.
Some suggestions have been however to limit the lack of space for the system as much as possible and even some sources have suggested elevating the power supply to allow the air to circulate the entire beast, as absurd as this may sound it seems to be fixing the problems that many players are having. So if I have deterred you from buying a console for that fact, I am sorry, but I still say those power supplies need to be recalled... unless you are putting a blanket over your power supply, I see no reason for it to freeze.
The information you posted about louis vuitton is so useful, I am expecting for your next post.
Nice articles, but I am not clear about the point you mentioned about how to distinguish fake and real cheap louis vuitton.

Heat is not being pulled off the processor by the fans in the back and by the heat sink extension. Even the accessory fans that clip on the back are not enough. A solution if you don’t mind the Xbox all opened up is to open the Xbox to access the DVD ROM (do this only on systems that no longer carry a warranty). The DVD Rom is covering the heat sink. Remove the DVD ROM from its normal location and set aside still connected. Either using CP cooling fans or even a small electric fan point it at the heat sink. The system will no longer freeze.
