if your console boots up and you are able to play it, yes but i would not recommend it, let it cool down or send it into the shop.

3 red rings (of death). Call xbox and get it sent back to them, they will fix it and send it back in 2weeks! GL.
1/3 of every xbox 360 gets it, mine got it a month ago and it sucked
The Xbox 360 Elite is more reliable. The Xbox 360 Arcade is the least reliable. The Xbox 360 Premium is in the middle of reliable. There are intercoolers especially made for the Xbox 360 which reduces the chance of getting the " 3 Rings of Death." The 3 rings of death are when 3 lights on your Xbox 360 power button turn red. This happens when the motherboard (main control system) gets too hot, or overheats. The metal inside of it bends. This causes the motherboard to stop working, which in turn, completely kills your Xbox 360. Some people get really lucky, and once they turn the Xbox 360 off and back on, it starts working again. Once you get the 3 rings, the T.V will just turn black, as if you put the T.V on Aux or Video or Input to play your game, but didn't turn it on. If you shut your Xbox 360 off and turn it back on, the rings will do what they normally do (turn on and off in a circle one time, then flash and fade out), but then the 3 red lights will turn on. When you get the 3 rings of death, you can ship your Xbox 360 to Microsoft. They will repair it for $160. Once shipped, you have to wait 6 weeks to get it back. Some people put guides on how to take apart and fix the 3 rings of death problem when you get it. 97% of those guides don't work. So there you have it. Hope this helped. -Joe
if its the red ring of death up to 3 rings turn off xbox and let it cool down if u get all 4 ur xbox is completley ruined
3 options take off the white or black cover depending on ur xbox and just play it, have a fan blow on it or buy intercooler
the xbox cooler cools the fans on your xbox so you don't over heat it and so you dot get the red rings of death. if you play it 20 minutes to a hour a day you do not need to buy one because your not playing constantly. but if you play it 3 to 4 hours a day then yes it would be a good idea to buy it
you can send out your xbox 360 to Microsoft and have them fix it if you still got the warranty if you don't, it will cst you about 150$ to repair it with them
'Three Rings of Death' (or 'Red Ring of Death', often abbreviated to 'RROD') refers to the way that three of the four light quadrants on an Xbox 360 light up red when a specific problem occurs with the hardware. Although there are several proposed methods of solving the issue once an Xbox has RROD'd, most require the owner to open their Xbox 360, thus voiding their warranty.
it depends...if the xbox has what people call "the three rings of death" where there is 3/4 of a circle on you t.v. screen then all you have to do is send the xbox to Microsoft and they will fix it for free and they even pay the shipping
