it keeps "over heating" as soon as I turn it on. It can't possibly be too hot that soon. Help please

This happened to my friends. It's a precursor to the rrod or it is the rrod or something like that. Thir xbox was messed up so they reset it and it went back to normal

Let the doctor take a look.

This might sound crazy, but you have to pour warm coffee all over the xbox.
I don't know why, but it worked for me.

My other friend actually did something like that. They wrapped it in a hot towel until it overheated and reset the system

Put it in the microwave for 12 sessions of 5 sec. at 100% with intervals of 1 sec. in between each session with a damp towel wrapped around it at all times. Should work fine after.

sounds like it's low on oil, have someone check that immediately.

Try singing a nice melodious tune in order to serenade it.

The problem obviously lies in the giggawat accelerator located near the south visual compensator, Take it to professional xbox-ologist immediately.

You need to create a way for the heat to escape, so drill holes all over the xbox. If that doesnt work, take it apart and put it back together inside out
