its proberbly been overheating, give it some more space around it and make sure all the vents are free of dust

if it does do the ring of death and its out of warrenty then htere are guides on youtube on how to fix it properly and they do work, i've done it before

Had mine a year now, had no problems. You can get 12 months of Xbox Live for less than £40.

I'd rather pay £40 for a non laggy service.
