I'm pretty sure it's just overheating. Move your 360 to place that's more open. | |

Reseat all your 360 cables... especially the A/V cables.

I'd call M$ Support and ask about the 2 red lights. like everyone's been saying
4 Red lights means cables aren't seated correctly or are on the wrong setting
3 Red lights means hardware error (it crapped out on ya)
no red or green lights and a frozen screen during initial load also means it's crapped out. | |

I would guess that your NBA disc is damaged. | |

Perhaps it's also an indicator that the 360 fans aren't functioning properly. I'd call Microsoft to be sure...  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907533

Mine froze for the first time with the 3 red blinking light when i was playing Call of Duty online. It did it a few times, then it stoped and i played for about an hour and a half with no problems. I really think its about to die. Is there anyway to fix it? What microsofts number? Do you lose all your game data and achievments if you send it in? I need help! | |

I got the 3 rings, so I unplugged the hardrive and all the cables and then plugged them back in and I havent had a problem with it since then.

Gortcho - if u send it in, you'll loose your progress because they'll send a new HDD ... u could try to keep your original HDD and then just use that when they send your replacement unit. | |

Microsoft's number is 1-800-4myxbox. Mine died a few weeks ago, 3 red blinking lights, and i sent it back in. Well i got a new one back on thurs. plugged it in again and BAM! the 3 red lights are back. So i called microsoft back and they told me to check my power supply. They now think the problem is my power supply. The big box on the power cable has a light on it that should be green when a game is playing. My light turns green for a few seconds and then turns yellow again. They claim this light should be green even if your xbox malfunctions and you get the red lights. They are sending me a new power supply hopefully this fixes the problem. When i sent my xbox in i got to keep my HD so i didnt lose any of my progress.
