I just got a refurb from microsoft after 3 red lights, and had it modded. Now the one I have keeps freezing after less than a minute of gameplay. The strange thing is that I can play a dvd movie, and downloaded movie trailers on my HDD and that'll work fine. But if I try to play any game disc or any game demos on my HDD the console will freeze within a minute of playing the game. I've never heard of this happening before. My console is in a open area, so is the power supply. I don't think overheating is the problem or the dvd drive since movies work from the HDD, and games from the HDD still don't. What the hell is going on with my xbox 360. Can it be the firmware?

probably not the firmware...
most likely the hardware..the reason its not freezing on movies is because the GPU is under any stress unlike playing a game...most likely it is going to die soon and you will have to send it back to M$.
