Default 2 Red Rings?
This has not been to much of a problem but sometimes when playing my xbox 360 it randomly shuts off and two red rings show up. I can turn it off and back on and its fine.

Does anybody know what this Means?

Which two are they that are lighting up red?

If it is the two of the left side it means your 360 is getting too hot. You should make sure that you dont have anything sitting on top of it and you should also make sure that there is enough room behind your 360 where the fans are. Those fans suck cool air into your 360 to keep it cool, so make sure your power brick isnt directly behind your 360 because that brick gets hot and if it's behind the 360 the fans will only be sucking in hot air which wont help!

NOOOOOOOOOOO! Do NOT buy one of those inter-coolers for your 360!! They actually do more harm than good. Just Google it and read some things people have to say about them. They're really, really bad! I hope you see this message in time!!

Just open up the area around the sides and the back of the 360 so there is good air flow and you'll be fine

ugh I didnt read your message in time. Your right though I looked at what people had to say about them and it actually makes it worse and could lead to the red ring of death. Once I saw that I took it right off and tried to position it better.

Thanks for the help

You either have a problem with it, or you don't. But most people have a problem with them heh.

Even the guy at my local GameStop knows it

15 y/o electrical engineer tech that understands thermodynamics?? IMPRESSIVE!

BUT, that still doesnt't explain why the majority of people with fans/coolers for their xbox's have problems
