Your Xbox 360 motherboard has 2 important chips on it, the CPU (central processing unit) and GPU (graphics processing unit).
The GPU is what processes graphics. The problem is, the cooling unit that sits above it is too small. This means this chip gets very hot. As this chip heats up, the solder/glue that holds it becomes weak.
Making matters worse, as the motherboard heats up, it starts to slightly bend up and down. This flex action combined with the weakened soldering which holds the GPU on is what causes your problem.
As the motherboard heats up, the GPU (and sometimes the CPU too) becomes loose. Once the GPU comes loose your system freezes, and shows red light errors. Some red light errors are the result of the CPU coming loose as well.
