On my XBox, load down seemed to be the issue. (Score 1)

I received an XBox for Christmas. To my dismay, I began getting the red ring early on. Most often, it would occur when a game began to load, which also seemed to be the point when the more intense graphic sequences would initialize. Usually, if I could proceed beyond this point, I was in the clear and could play. On my rig, the problematic "red ring" did not appear to stem from excessive heat generated from intense rendering. However, from time to time, during gameplay, the graphics would freeze and upon reboot, I would get the red ring. Based on this, I support the theory that the problem stems from a manufacturing issue, such as poor soldering, and not a design issue as was indicated above.
