sounds like you could be getting the 3 red lights of death pretty soon, its fixable yourself, check the xbox-scene forums for x-clamp replacement tutorials.

i dunno really, i suppose id wait and try the fans because usually the 3rlod are caused by overheating so it might help.
on the other hand, i know of people who did the modification with the heatsinks i did right out of the box because they dont trust ms hardware.

i had a similar problem with mine , freexing after a few hours then freexing after a few mins totaly random
i done 2 things which 1 or all of them fixed the issue
1: i plugged xbox power supply direct into the mains wall socket without using extension leads etc.
2: i opened up the 360 and hoovered the heatsink and insides as there was a lot of dust inside.
this was about 7 months ago and not had it freeze again at all.
hope this helps
