Firstly,if there is a difficulty on your xbox360 it will indicate an outline of lights on the front of the console. You know the lights are the ones that you have possibly not taken much notice of until now as they are frequently green. Well there are four lights in this ring of LED's. As I said these under normal conditions will be green. With certain faults these will in any number of sequences go red and certain sequences will lead to Xbox error.

Two blinking lights is the Xbox error for overheating, this can cause the console to lock up or freeze for a certain period of time. (Try to remember if the console locks up at a certain point of a game it is more likely to be a difficulty with the game).

Consider it or not, repairing your console from those 3 red lights is a simple process and it doesn't require higher technical skills or special tools to perform it. Stopping the GPU from becoming loose is the whole issue, so you can do it yourself at home. I suggest you check out a complete professional Xbox repair guide with in-depth detailed HD video instructions and pictures.

Ok what do you do here, easy let the console cool down and you should be ready to go again. Try to prevent this from happening by making sure all the vents around the Xbox are clear.

The main cause of those 3 blinking red lights shining on the front of your Xbox is overheating. When Microsoft planned their gaming machine, they downsized the LSI heat sinks and the cooling system in order to house the DVD drive. This plan flaw has an awful impact on the system constancy. When your Xbox 360 is in a row, the motherboard heats up and it begins to shake. These vibrations loosen the soldering holding the GPU in place, and every time it comes, enough electrical connection failure will take place between the central processing unit (CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU) and the motherboard. Then, your game freezes and you have the infamous Xbox 360 red ring of death or RROD error.ase with airflow beneath.eek or so before you will be able to use your console again.
