subject: Don't Send Your Xbox To An Early Grave! [print this page] There are a number of technical problems that your precious Xbox 360 gaming console might encounter. Other Xbox 360 problems include the discs being scratched while in the unit, the console not reading the disk, bricking and others. However, one problem that is sure to cause a major headache and make the blood run cold in any Xbox 360 owner's veins is the sight of the dreaded "red ring of death".
The RED RING OF Death is indicated by three flashing red lights around the Xbox 360 power button instead of the one to four green lights indicating normal operation. The Red Ring of Death represents an internal problem that requires service for your beloved console. Warning signs on the Red Ring of Death problem may include freeze-ups, graphical problems in the middle of gameplay, sound errors, and the console only responds to pressing the power button to turn it off. This signs will occur until the eventual hardware failure occurs.
It has been noted that the Red Ring of Death on Xbox 360s are either caused by these reasons but not limited to:
failure of one or more major components
not receiving enough power from power supplies and also caused by power surges
overheating
Problems in GPU
Whatever the reason for seeing the Red Ring of Death, these flashing lights are never a good site to behold. So if the problem happens, whether you have a warranty or not, it will be best to consult an expert to fix the problem. By doing this, you will have the chance in saving your Xbox 360 instead of bringing it to its death.
