Xbox ventilation problem

[n00b tube]

Hey peeps.

I put my Xbox on earlier and got an update message (again!!!) so I let it update and then just after I started my game I got a message that the Xbox was shutting down due to ventilation problems.

I have never had this message before and can't really understand it because it has nothing around it. I tried unplugging everything and then restarting it and I got the same message again. Has anyone else had this problem? The Xbox is just out of warranty too!

Anyone got any tips?

I have never had that message before when i used to have an Xbox 360, but my suggestion is to open the console and clean it very well, and here is a video that will help you clean your Xbox 360...

I actually used the vacuum to clear the vents the other day and it is working fine now.

Vacuums wouldn't be bad. I haven't ever had a vent problem, so no need to clean mine out..I think.

It's always good to loosen some dust by blowing some of the vents, I do it daily, Keeps it more flowing
