360 Failures- Not RROD

So, I was playing a rental copy of Mass Effect, and it froze, so I turned off the console, checked the disc, had some scratches, buffed it, put it back in, started playing. It froze at a part about 30 after the inital one. Took it out, took off my Intercooler thinking it might be causing some problems, put it back it, pressed start at the menu, froze again.

I turn the console on and off, and it freezes on the 360 logo screen (first thing that comes up when you turn it on). I decided to take the Mass Effect disc out, thinking it may be causing some problems. I grab Halo 3 and stick it in. I get to the Halo 3 main menu and select campaign. It freezes right after I select it.

My question is, WTF? I didn't get any red lights or anything, I tried another game, so whats the jig man? Is this an early sign of failure? Another question, if I do get the RROD and have to send it in, will I have to pay if I never purchased Microsoft's warranty plan?

Thanks for the help.

that happend to me..except i got a message when i put games in saying "to play this disc put it in a xbox 360 console"

i sent it in..its currently in repair .

your system is dead. I had the same thing happen to me. I couldn't get any game to load past the start screen. I never got the RROD.gagit811

Well I read the Microsoft help section. I removed all components and replaced them, without the HDD. It worked fine. So I threw it back on, and it worked fine. Played Mass Effect for ten minutes and the screen just went black in the middle of it.
