means hardware failure
Get a Ps3
how I fixed my xbox 360 from the red ring of death was by not playing it or turning it on for 1 to 2 days DO NOT DO THAT!!!! If you have the pro xbox (Which is just about every single 1) just unplug it and plug it back in. !PEACE!
Call 1-800-4-my-xbox
It has a ring, but if theres more than 1 ring that's bad your disc is scratched, make sure your xbox 360 is not tilted while playing.
It is more commonly known as the "Red Ring of Death", and occurs on the Xbox 360. It's a system failure, and has a 33% chance of occurring on your system. But if it does happen, call 1-800-4-MY-XBOX (1-800-469-9269) and they will walk you through the process on how they can repair your console.
You buy a new xbox
1/3 of every xbox 360 gets it, mine got it a month ago and it sucked
a new cable
A common cause of the "Red Ring Of Death" is the failure of the Nyko Intercooler inside the console. It has also been suggested that hardware failures can be caused by the fracturing of the solder used inside the console due to excessive heat and the wrong type of solder being used during construction. The top three causes are: 1) Overheating, 2) Problems in GPU, 3) Problems in powerbrick. For more information see the attached link.
If you put your Xbox 360 on the carpet and play it for to long you'll get the RED RING OF DEATH!!!!!! I put mine on top of my cabinet. by Hunter Ho Ok, but what about if you play it on top of a marble dresser, you had it for 3-4 years, kept it clean, and played it for 1-3 hours every once in a while, then what could be the cause? Please improve this answer to answer my question and include my question and Hunter Ho's statement.
Xbox 360 The Xbox 1 only wants your money
Do not, I repeat, DO NOT use the Nyko InterCooler for your Xbox 360. There have been a large number of cases where the Nyko InterCooler actually shortens the life of the Xbox 360 rather than lengthen it. This happens mainly because the Xbox 360 is set to run on a certain amount of power, and the "brick" supplies that amount of power. When the InterCooler is attached, it saps power from the Xbox 360 to work the fans. In response, the Xbox 360's fans do not get the amount of power that they need to work correctly usually causing the Xbox 360 to overheat. Overheating is the main cause of the infamous 3 red rings of death, the 1 red ring of death, and other fatal problems. Additionally, some cases report that the plastic from the Nyko InterCooler has melted onto the Xbox 360 console. A few people have even been unlucky enough to have the Nyko InterCooler pull out pins from the motherboard upon removal. Again, do not, I repeat, DO NOT use the Nyko InterCooler for your Xbox 360.
