Varun, The same freezing issue happened to me in September, with a tiny little xbox live update. My 360 would work for a little while, and then freeze, and eventually it got to the point where it would freeze on the startup screen, and then it reached the 3 red lights of death stage. Mine was manufactured in 11-05, and I just had to send it off to microsoft to get it fixed. It seemed like the live update, which didn't really do much, was the straw that broke the camel's back. So probably the same thing is happening with these fall dashboard updates.
And then the Xbox tech support gal swears it's the first time that's ever happened. You wouldn't happen to have a reference number for that when I call them back? :(
