Exploring The 360's Crashing and Heat

GameDailyBiz has a piece up looking into the crashing and overheating problems that have plagued the Xbox 360 since the system launched. A new crashing problem seems to be associated with the most recent update to the Xbox Live software, while german forum-goers think they may have identified the overheating issue. From the article: "The way it's installed now by MS the GPU chip makes contact with the protection foil instead of the heat transfer pad. This can of course cause cooling issues for the graphics chip as for optimal cooling performance there should just be a thin layer of thermal pad between the GPU chip and heatsink."

No offense to the Parent
I propose a new variation on Godwin's Law - the Engle/Fiala Law .
If the term "fanboy/fanboi" is used in a post, regardless of the author's intention, the entire post must be ignored.
(The Engle/Fiala Law applies to this post.)
