Is your unit in a well ventilated place (a very well ventilated space) including the PSU? Or is it plugged into an extension socket strip....(it needs its own socket due to power surges/spikes etc) the console has an auto safety shut off feature in case of fluctuations in the electrical supply. Hence the (usual) instance of red rings.
First week i had mine (Jan 07) i had my XBOX stuffed into a cramped space and the PSU was on the floor next to it ....plugged into a 6 way EXT strip. Left on for about 8 hours, then the 3 Red rings struck! due to overheating.
Turned it off, repositioned all my kit and put the Power supply brick in a much better place - and had no problems AT ALL since that time. Try it mate (if you havn't already) before calling the number above. It may help.

You only have it a short while and you'll definitely get the 3 red rings again and the next time it will probably be terminal.
Try to get Microsoft to send you a brand new unit rather than a refurbishment.
