One day, you may be playing your perfectly fine Xbox 360 when it suddenly freezes. When you reboot the system, it gives you 3 flashing red lights in the front. This means your 360 has encountered a hardware problem. If you don't want to return your console to Microsoft right away, you can do this "towel trick."
Make sure your Xbox 360 actually has the 3 red lights, also known as the Red Rings of Death (RROD).
Get enough towels to cover the whole system up.
Remove everything from the 360, including external hard drives, wired controllers, games, etc, EXCEPT for the power supply.
Wrap your Xbox 360 with the towels.
While wrapped, plug your 360's power supply into a wall socket and turn it on. You'll get your usual RROD. Let it run for 15-20 minutes.
Afterwards, turn the Xbox 360 off and let it cool for 20 minutes.
Plug everything back in and turn it on again. It should work.
