Issues with the update?!?!

Ok, so I got the update, and right away i cheched out the messanger thing. I signed up and then I went to my frineds list. At the bottom it said press Y to Show contacts. I wasnt really sure what this was at frst so I pressed it. Then my 360 frooze up and these 3 red rings came up on my actual 360. I wasnt sure what it was so I turned off the 360 and unplugged the cords. When I turned it on again it was fine. But after playing for another 30 minutes my 360 froze up 3 times. Each time it would restart then work for about 5-10 minutes. So does anyone know what the problem is? My 360? The update? and has anyone else had these problems?Issues with the update?!?!

sounds like your 360s f**ked to me, best bet is to send it off, but be prepared for the 2 week wait i had to suffer through

Yeah so i played a bit more after that and it was fine. But when i signed on today after school it froze up aain right when i entered a Gears game. I got the 3 red dots again, so i unplugged all my cords, then put them back in. Its been fine for about 15 minutes now. So has anyone else had these same problems before?

Are the red lights flashing or not?
There are people in this forum saying not to download the dashboard update because of some supposed problems. How the hell are you going to do that? Not go online ever again?

The update is fine. Your 360 is broke. Jump-In..... to your warranty and get a new 360. If it stopped working after the update it most likely means your 360 was destined to fail soon enough. You could blame it on Gears to but like I said your Xbox is just busted. Hope your lucky and get good customer service. I myself use the best buy 2 year plan. I just take it in and get a new one if mine breaks. I had a launch system that died at 13 months( for reference that was the time they enacted the hey were sorry but we just screwed a crap ton of systems namely the launch system, we will now extend everyones warranty and lose a lot of money on returns cause were too cheap to fix the real problem and make a more quality product. After saying all that I still love my 360 :P ). Got a new one going good thus far. Things do break and this is true but they shouldn%26#39;t as often. If i never have to get another well at leat till xbox 360(squared) comes out then ill be fine.
