What is the Best Way to Fix My Xbox 360?

After about 15 minutes of play it overheats. (The 2 red rings on the Ring of Light)
It is out of warranty, and I cannot afford the repair. If you have any tips, or if you could send me a link to a website that has a good way to fix it, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Suggestion:

Some machines overheat after hours of play, but some do in as quickly as 10 minutes. Either way, the machine is defective and something has to be done about it.

There are a few things you can do on your own to deal with overheating. Just like any other electronics, try to keep the back of the console clear so that the hot air can escape.

If one of the fans is not turning, or if it is going too slowly, you might want to replace the fan yourself. Of course, it shouldn't be YOUR responsibility to do that, but considering all the headaches customers have had with Microsoft's replacement machines, it just might save you some trouble.
