The prob is the motherboard is jammed in the case of the first few batchesWhen the console heats up and the DVD drive is used, the motherboard vibrates slightly off the external casing and eventually shakes the chips from the motherboard. The console BIOS spacks out and gives 3 lovely rings of death. They've sorted it to a much better degree in the latest batch of consoles plus as it's their fault you should be given a replacement free of charge too.

the towel trick is BADyou only need to slightly overheat the GPU memory chips and let them cool. Too much heat elsewhere will fry other components.
