That guy's answer was really bad, anyway you get the red rings when your system has a malfunction. Such as the hard drive may not be connected correctly or your system has overheated. The 3 red rings are the most common, they occur when the 360's motherboard gets to hot and the solderings that hold the motherboard in place break off, and the three red rings appear. This most oftentimes happens because of the last of the space that the parts require, the CD drive takes over the space of the cooling fan but in the case of the elite the fan takes over the space of the drive, which causes a problem.

Also what can happen is the soldering that connects the plates that bring heat out of the motherboard to the fan can cool them has melted and is not absorbing heat.
This can be fixed by taking the xbox apart to the bare motherboard and popping off the X-clamps (careful with the X-clamps, I accidentally scratched my motherboard).
Then take off the part that has the plates sticking up by the fan. Then use Arctic Silver #5 to re-solder the chips to the plate. That should fix it.

You had the red rings of death on your nxe xbox 360 but now it seems to be working again After a few weeks?
That's what a lot of people are saying,"Oh no!! The red rings of death appeared on my Xbox. Now it dead forever!" However, most of these people are wrong. I believe if you look in the Xbox manuel, the red lights have codes. Like my Xbox had red lights on the third and first player ring sections. However, this meant my Xbox overheated and came back to life in 3 hours.
