yeah, if it is stock most likely its overheating. ask you friend if the eject light goes red/ green, or red, or orange, or flashes or anything, and also does a error come up on the screen? and are there any clicking noises? lol these are all problems i have had. lol

Yeah send it back to M$, or try pointing and fan at it and if turns off you know its overheat and he might have dust bunnies or something sick like lizard or something in it. Somewhere on some site over the rainbow theres a thread and they post wierd stuff they found in there 'Box, I have found a furrball in one and a LIVE centaped in another the second one right out of the box.
