3 red rings except in upper rt quad

gameplay went snowy; shut it all down and restarted. 3 red flashing rings except in upper rt quadrant. Unplugged it all and let cool. Played ok for a min when restarted, then went snowy again. Shut it off and restarted but only the 3 rings as b4; no gameplay at all. Xbox360 support site says pwr cord may be bad. Will MS fix this for free? If not, would that towel trick work in this situation? Maybe I should grab a Arcade version and insert the hard drive from this one...

Yes, Microsoft will fix this for free.

Follow the instructions here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907534

If that does not resolve your problems, then you can submit a console repair request online:

yet the towel trick will work wrap your system for about 10 min with power on

then the little white button in the middle of the xbox press it once

Only do this if your warranty is up.

What the towel trick does is makes your system overheat and when that
happens it will reset

depending if your warranties not up then yea, mocrosoft will fix it for free. but if you didnt buy the extended warranty from them and are outside the 90 day free warranty, then u have to pay. last time i got that, i called microsoft and they told me it was $99.99 to fix it, not including shipping and handling. i just found it cheaper to purchase another xbox and just switch the hardrives
