360 locks up during Netflix videos

Hey guys,
I've had a weird issue lately. My xbox Red Ringed a few weeks ago and I got a new one two weeks later. Since then whenever I try to watch a Netflix video it will freeze the entire thing at random intervals.
The weird thing is that I think it's tied to my XBL profile, because while my xbox was out my friend brought his over to my house. I plugged in my HDD and logged into my profile. We were playing Army of Two and it kept freezing on me so I gave up and let another friend play for a while. He logged into his profile and it never froze again.
After figuring out it was my profile I Recovered my Gamertag and it seemed to fix the problem as we were able to play through Army of Two the rest of the night. When I got my new xbox back it seemed to still be working fine since recovering my tag. Until yesterday when the Netflix thing started happening.
So I just recovered it again, and it got about half way through an episode of Law and Order and froze yet again. So I ask you guys what it could possibly be and what I can do to fix it.
Things I have done:
Any other ideas?

- Cleared HDD Cache
- Unplugged and plugged system back in
Any other ideas?

Would that lock up my entire 360 and cause me to give it a hard boot before it comes back up?
Yeah. I just tried removing netflix and redownloaded it. About to see if that fixed it.
I was able to play the NFS demo.
NOoooooooo!!! That's not true!
At this point I want it to Red Ring so I can send it out again. I just got this one back... But the problem is it seems I can play games just fine, just Netflix messes up. At least, I think so.
