When I plug up my 360 to play it overheats within mins of turning on and shuts off. Is this a fan problem?

Wrap a cold towel around it.

If it's one of the really old white ones, try taking it apart and cleaning the inside. They tend to get pretty dusty and that might be stopping the fans from working properly.

All of my 360 Slims would get hot within minutes but it never turned off. I know there are fans out there to help address the heating issue. You sure the heating isn't normal and you have a faulty power supply?

It's over heating due to old thermal paste or bad fan. It's possible poor solder points under the GPU could use reflow or reball. If it's a xenons could need a reball or GPU replaced
