heyy i need majorr helpp when i got black ops i put it in and it overheated im like wtff?!?!? so i keep trying it keeps doing it i play cod 4 it still does it it usually dont do it so i waited a day then played cod it worked fine so i tryed black ops anddd it overheated i took black opps back 2 get a new 1 and it jus did it again wth i doo i tore my xbox apart i was so mad my xbox is all metal like theres nothing but metal and i tore half of that off idk i feel stupid but i was so pissed
1. dust your xbox regulary about once a month use compressed air if needed take cause of to get all dust out
2. keep in open area free of dust and not in a small area under something
3. keep in cool environment have windows open or a fan blowing to it
4 get an intercooler fan at the back but not one that uses xbox 360 power 5.keep power brick cool and in open area try to ventil and dust the power brick aswell6. never and i mean never put on carpet
i have this problem to but for some reason i dont get it in the dash board i can stay there for like 5 hours and no red lights and i also noticed that it only seems to happen on my favorite game (COD WAW) but i doubt its the game cause why would it give me red rings??? does anyone else have this problem were it only happens on certain games?
@GioVelaX10 i just called them nd told them its a new xbox nd tht its never been repaired nd then they just said sent it over we will send you a box. so i sent them my xbox for free nd they repaired it for free idk why but i just didint have to pay it was free nd i already got it repaired/gave me a new xbox like 4 or 5 diffrent times so its been free for me :D
try this take a baseball bat and introduce it to the xbox 360 then take the pieces and put them in the microwave for about 3 hours then when they are nice and crisp send it to microsoft as an early christmas gift, go out and buy a PS3
My xbox keeps getting overheating and its really pissing me off! and i mean i turn it on and like 5 to 10 min it overheats! so my brother is blaming me about it and i wanna fix it coz i dont wanna buy a new one-____- (yes im cheap lol)
well if you can help me by fixing this huge as mother fucken problem email me isabellamoves@aol.com
2 red lights is all I need before my xbox has had all the red rings of death and I have never had to take it apart or get a new since I bought my first one because Im just that damn good.
you need to open your xbox and then blow the dust out of the heat sink with some compressed air. there is a video on how to open your xbox up very easy. go give it a try it worked for me.
1 week to fix i sent it to microsoft now its fine its the same one it has the some barcode and the same scratch but the may send u a refurbished on my gamertag: Jerraldough
Okay, I was watching this yesterday because I had the same problem... First I would like to say that you SHOULD NOT get the Nyko Intercooler at all..They actually help overheat the system faster and Second, Have you tried unplugging everything from the box including hard drive and Blowing compressed air (blowing air with your mouth works too) at a 45 degree angle or so into all of the ventilation holes? That solution worked for me and I can play it like I used to again. xD
I am having a problem where I have replaced the x brackets with screws and when I start the xbox, the fans run then stop and i get two red lights. I am not sure what I am doing wrong but then the power bar turns orange. PLEASE someone help me
lay it down flat man, notice the huge air vent on the bottom, that you are preventing air from getting in when it stands vertical. Keep the power box well ventilated as well.
i have the same problem i opended it up and no dust....cpu wasnt loose has to be something els if u guys dont know what error it is so u can look it up on google or something the (overheating error is 0013)
The same thing happened to me ive gotten two red lights and three red lights before i took out all the cables and wires from the ports even the power cord and blew out all the dust in it and there was so much dust obstructing the fans it wasnt event funny i almost choked and had an asthma attack but then i left it alone for a while and got all the dust out and it worked fine.
well, 1st i took my xbox360 appart to the bare motherboard, and found that my cpu heatsink was loose. I was like WTF. so i plugged meh shit back into the xbox, and pressed firmly down on the heatsink and wala it was fixed :D.
you have to take it apart then you have to make the 2 chips in the xbox clean then put a thermal compound on them thats better.microsoft puts on the cheapest kind and it messes up.or just look at "buskirkd" channel
right get a fan take all the cabels out of your xbox and your hardrive put the fan behind it make sure the xbox is standing up ike yours in the video and let the fan blow on 2 for 20 minutes through the back and and then once 20 mins has been put it on 3 for 10 mins the put all the plugs back in and enjoy your xbox again!
yes, just make sure you dont open up the xbox, or else that will break this electronic seal inside and they cant accept it for repairs or refunds or anything
ok i hope all of you guys are reading this ok imy xbox had the 3 ring of death and ive been doing the towel trick but it only werked 4 a lil while den i decided 2 try another way of cooling it down so i poured water in da back of the xbox now it hardly works at all but den my dads friend said dat it was sticky inside and culdnt do it but now i have the 2 red rings now wen i turn it on i hear a loud air noise den its stops and only the red rings stay on what do i do?
Ha HA, no but i did fix my own X-box that was over heating. Just take it apart very easy to do just look for a video to show you how. Then clean all the dirt from inside of it. Mine would over heat after just a few minutes after i did this i hasn't overheated once. It's been over a month.
crappy system indeed. 3rd xbox 360. than i called microsoft to fix it for me but the bastards said my warranty was over. most unreliable system ever made. my super nes still works and i had that since the 90's when i was a kid. saving up to buy a ps3. thats what i recommend.
Ok guys i already fix it # 1 open ur xbox disconect the fans for 10 to 15 minutes then let it cool down conncet the fans again and voala it works (i have to say that i already put the flat washes #8 between the gpu and the xclamp and did the same in the cpu and u have to clean the thermal paste well to be honest i just took apart the clamp and without separate the cooler from the gpu o cpu put the washers on the scrws or whatever then put the xclamp
Why do you have the console standing vertically!? I know Microsoft adveritised it that way but it needs to be horizontal. Make sure all the vents are open and that the console is away from other potential heat sources, like your Power Pack which happens to be 2 inches away. Same applies for the powerpack. Keep it away from other electronics and heat sources, and keep it's vents open to air.
ok well i got something that might help. #1 dont use intercooler if you are.
#2 open your xbox and see if you regular fans are working with no dust in them.
#3 your x-clampsmight be broken or loose.
Either replace your x-clamps(search youtube for x-clamp fix) or tighten your x-clamps and remove the thermal paste, and place 4 peice of credit cars around the cpu and gpu.. check lawldawg or whatever, his video.
Hope it helped b ut when u do this i HIGHLY suggest getting a cooling mod.
Ok! the problem is because the cooling system lets air pass through it right! and if to much dust gets into the cooling system then it traps more of the hot air not allowing it to get to the fans that would push out the hot air.
the best way to fix is open it up and carefully hover the cooling system and then wipe it down with a dry cloth.
I just got that problem about 8-9 hours ago while playing gta4. A couple minutes ago I turned it on and after 5-10 minutes it happened again while playing gta4. Im pretty sure it might be the game although I used to play that game 24/7 when it came out. All I know now is that microsoft needs to make sure they're making quality merch before sending it to people. And I JUST BOUGHT A FIFTY DOLLAR MICROSOFT POINT CARD!!!!!!!!!!
you shuold take everthing apart if u dont have to warranty there should be alot of dust in the xbox360 thats how i fixed mine go spell how to open xbox console and clean your system
>>>>>> Its because its already overheated before so all the technical shit inside has melted onto the mother bored, so when you turn it on, because its already close to the mother board it doesnt need mutch heating....... Doesnt take a briniac to figure that out.............
that happens where ever you put it if you have the same problem i have it too. you just take it apart until you get to just the mother board and you put the thermal paste on the 2 chips under the things the fan cools down. the problem is that those chips overheat
Ok, this is nothing. I've had my Xbox for 9 months and I've gotten the Overheat RROD litteraly 12 times. I've gotten it once in just 20 minutes. But, all thats needed is using some "canned air" to clean out the 360. Then, I have a homemade fan in the back of the Xbox. This pulls out the warm air, and lets the cool in. I also have the bottom lifted up on paint stirrers to give ventalation even further. It is also pulled out on a shelf.
1. take the brick away from the damn box retard. 2. take it apart and clean the metal peice in front of the white vaccum. 3. get rid of that shitty game
see my xbox does the same thing sometimes as fast others a little longer so i tried a few things
1) sucking dust out all possible vents
2) putting my xbox i the middle of my room
still did it so did some research and found out that it could be the power supply getting to hot so i moved the power supply next to my window and i always have the window open so its nice and cool and so far it seems to be working... however the other day the sun was on the PS and it got really hot and overheated
1. dust is clogging up your console therefore blocking majore fans & clamps from working.
2. your Xclamp isn't tightened to the heatsink tight enough, therefore resulting in complete overheat in a matter of 4 minutes.
the same thing happened to me, it was the Xclamp. i tried sucking out all the dust with a vacuum, but it didn't work, resulting in me sending it away for a month.
We just got a 360, it does the same thing, would you like a video of that too? :( Im sick of Microsoft at this point. Honestly, if theyre so brilliant- why the heck is it doing it within 4 minutes of gameplay? ''Overheating" should definitely take at least an hour in low quality imo
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you guys are all idiots. i can play gta4 for ever and it wont overheat. i can play assain's creed for ever and it wont reheat. get a new box dumb asses.
Fuck im sick of x box, im on my 3rd one now, they all overheat! within 1 month of the warranty expiring, 4 in a fucking row and they wont cover unless there is 3 red lights
yea, thats pretty lame...i can sit and play CoD4 for up to 4 hrs...but i play GTAIV for not even 30 minutes and it "overheats" sounds like a bullshit excuse, they need to go ahead and call it the TWO red rings of death as well.
I got my 360 like a year ago and it does the exact same thing but on GTA4 Every time i try to connect to online anything the game just shuts off and i have two red rings of "overheat" even though my 360's been off for like a day and i also don't have my warranty papers
thats the same case with us. we got the 2 red rings pretty much right after our warranty expired. well there are a few options, but theres no true, guaranteed solution that we know of at the moment.
some people say theyve fixed theirs by opening it up and following tutorials online on how to fix it.
but I don't recommend that you do that mainly because if you ever get the chance to turn it in for repairs, they won't be able to accept an xbox thats been opened up by the user.
No offence, but i think that the xbox is inthe wrong place as well. if there is any heat on in the house, move the 360 to another place. the wall also may be capturing the heat and radiating it back into the ventilation spot. The Power supply may also be gettin warm, or there may be to much power coming into it.
but if you know for a fact that you're not going to be turning yours in for repairs, or if you're going to buy a brand new one all together, or if you have already opened yours up, then by all means go ahead and look online for tutorials on how to fix it.
I know it's frustrating, but i hope ive helped at least a little bit.
OMG same thing happened to me today!!! i havent played my xbox 360 in about 6 weeks and i turned it on and after like 2 minutes it shut off displaying the 2 red "overheating" lights.. does anyone have the answer to this yet?? the xbox is brand new.. like seriously only 3 months old. its bullshit how my nintendo 64 still works perfectly and my xbox us already fucking broken.
we dont have the papers and it screws up on assassin's creed in a short amount of time.
well, we made the video to find out the answer to this problem, and we are working constantly to solve it for ourselves and for you, and for everyone else who has suffered the same situation.
when we get the ideal solution, we will get back to you as soon as possible.
After i finished playing r6v. My brother played gta4 and surprisingly everything was alright. No red lights. I just don't get it. I hope the dreaded red lights won't come back.
This only happens to me when i'm playing gta4 but only during cutscenes. It rarely happens during gameplay. Other games are working perfectly. Could it be a bug in the game?
it just happened to me today, i still have a pertected by warrenty so i'm just sending it in. mine lasted 6 months and all of a sudden did this after 30 minets of gta 4
Our 360 officially died in February, if you do not already know. The disc tray will not open, and even when forcibly opened, no discs are detected inside the console. Let us know if you seem to have this issue, we may be able to connect them somehow.
Also, ours lasted about 3x as long when it was run in HD as opposed to a standard TV. Has anyone else noticed or tried this?
my xbox 360 disc tray jams if i close it with no game. i used to be able to jam it out with a knife but now im gonna get it repaired cuz its stuck opened and wont close
Okay. im commenting to see if anyone can help me. my 360 was not played for like a week and i started playing for like a half an our and i got the two lights. so right now i am debating whether to get the fan or send it in. any help from anyone?
Same issue here, as you can see. Can you tell us what game caused this accident?
Our recommendation is to not get an intercooler, and don't send it in for repairs. They're asking $99 for ours to be fixed. Just buy a new one (or core system) and just keep the old hard drive.
I'm looking deeper into this, and Microsoft's explanation is a faulty internal heat sink. A fan will keep it going for probably 10 more minutes at most. Take it from us.
i can't remember what game caused it. but im pretty sure i have a warrenty so that it is free if i send it in. not 100% sure of where the box it came in is so that might be a problem
Yeah this happened to me. My warranty was void so I figured I would try to fix it myself. It was very dusty on the inside. I thought that was the problem so I cleaned of all the dust with a compressed air bottle. There was no dust left when I closed it up, but when I turned it on thinking I had solved the problem 1 min after I put in COD4, 2 red lights! I don't know what is wrong with it because the fan is working and its not getting any hotter than it normally gets so how is it overheating?
I think I may have figured it out. I thought it was the 360 that was overheating, but I found a site that said the power bricks can also overheat causing the 2 red lights. So I unplugged my power cord cooled it of with a fan and my 360 worked for about 40 min then got the 2 red lights. I think my power brick needs to be replaced. I probably have unplugged the power brick once or twice since I got my 360, no wonder it broke. Maybe you just need to replace the power brick?
my 360 kept overheating like every 10 minutes and i tried cleaning it but i was afraid to take it aprt. then i called and my warranty was up so i took it apart and there was soo much dust and i used a vacume and now my 360 is almost new!!
yea gi got the same prblem it works for ever on cod but gears it overheats in 20 mins same with battefield beta and rainvbow six vegas 2 any one know how to fix???
yea gi got the same prblem it works for ever on cod but gears it overheats in 20 mins same with battefield beta and rainv=bow six vegas 2 any one know how to fix???
Just so everybody knows, our Xbox 360 died, completely, in late February, but I'm still open to suggestions for others that have the same problem. Thanks a lot!
Did you fans work or no because mine dont and i am having the same problem

Hope it helped b ut when u do this i HIGHLY suggest getting a cooling mod.

i opened mine and its had no signs of dust any where and it still overheats every 20 min.
Someguyonxbl 2 years ago
Ok! the problem is because the cooling system lets air pass through it right! and if to much dust gets into the cooling system then it traps more of the hot air not allowing it to get to the fans that would push out the hot air.
the best way to fix is open it up and carefully hover the cooling system and then wipe it down with a dry cloth.

I just got that problem about 8-9 hours ago while playing gta4. A couple minutes ago I turned it on and after 5-10 minutes it happened again while playing gta4. Im pretty sure it might be the game although I used to play that game 24/7 when it came out. All I know now is that microsoft needs to make sure they're making quality merch before sending it to people. And I JUST BOUGHT A FIFTY DOLLAR MICROSOFT POINT CARD!!!!!!!!!!

>>>>>> Its because its already overheated before so all the technical shit inside has melted onto the mother bored, so when you turn it on, because its already close to the mother board it doesnt need mutch heating....... Doesnt take a briniac to figure that out.............
cottle9 2 years ago
that happens where ever you put it if you have the same problem i have it too. you just take it apart until you get to just the mother board and you put the thermal paste on the 2 chips under the things the fan cools down. the problem is that those chips overheat
Blink182forevermxman 2 years ago
Ok, this is nothing. I've had my Xbox for 9 months and I've gotten the Overheat RROD litteraly 12 times. I've gotten it once in just 20 minutes. But, all thats needed is using some "canned air" to clean out the 360. Then, I have a homemade fan in the back of the Xbox. This pulls out the warm air, and lets the cool in. I also have the bottom lifted up on paint stirrers to give ventalation even further. It is also pulled out on a shelf.

doomarrow70 2 years ago
see my xbox does the same thing sometimes as fast others a little longer so i tried a few things
1) sucking dust out all possible vents
2) putting my xbox i the middle of my room
still did it so did some research and found out that it could be the power supply getting to hot so i moved the power supply next to my window and i always have the window open so its nice and cool and so far it seems to be working... however the other day the sun was on the PS and it got really hot and overheated
VideoJunkies94 2 years ago
this is what the problem most likely is..
1. dust is clogging up your console therefore blocking majore fans & clamps from working.
2. your Xclamp isn't tightened to the heatsink tight enough, therefore resulting in complete overheat in a matter of 4 minutes.
the same thing happened to me, it was the Xclamp. i tried sucking out all the dust with a vacuum, but it didn't work, resulting in me sending it away for a month.
sammyboi156 2 years ago
We just got a 360, it does the same thing, would you like a video of that too? :( Im sick of Microsoft at this point. Honestly, if theyre so brilliant- why the heck is it doing it within 4 minutes of gameplay? ''Overheating" should definitely take at least an hour in low quality imo

I got my 360 like a year ago and it does the exact same thing but on GTA4 Every time i try to connect to online anything the game just shuts off and i have two red rings of "overheat" even though my 360's been off for like a day and i also don't have my warranty papers
FuckUKunt 3 years ago
thats the same case with us. we got the 2 red rings pretty much right after our warranty expired. well there are a few options, but theres no true, guaranteed solution that we know of at the moment.
some people say theyve fixed theirs by opening it up and following tutorials online on how to fix it.
but I don't recommend that you do that mainly because if you ever get the chance to turn it in for repairs, they won't be able to accept an xbox thats been opened up by the user.
thecultguy 3 years ago
No offence, but i think that the xbox is inthe wrong place as well. if there is any heat on in the house, move the 360 to another place. the wall also may be capturing the heat and radiating it back into the ventilation spot. The Power supply may also be gettin warm, or there may be to much power coming into it.
mcwiggles1213 2 years ago
but if you know for a fact that you're not going to be turning yours in for repairs, or if you're going to buy a brand new one all together, or if you have already opened yours up, then by all means go ahead and look online for tutorials on how to fix it.
I know it's frustrating, but i hope ive helped at least a little bit.

::UPDATE::
We have a new XBOX 360.
Since our other one only had 2 red lights, we couldnt turn it in.
So, we bought a new one.
BUT, we will still try and get the new one fixed and/or turned in somehow.
We will still be fighting to get YOU the answers and solutions YOU need.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

This only happens to me when i'm playing gta4 but only during cutscenes. It rarely happens during gameplay. Other games are working perfectly. Could it be a bug in the game?

that would be a BIG flaw if it was a bug in the game.

UPDATES:
Our 360 officially died in February, if you do not already know. The disc tray will not open, and even when forcibly opened, no discs are detected inside the console. Let us know if you seem to have this issue, we may be able to connect them somehow.
Also, ours lasted about 3x as long when it was run in HD as opposed to a standard TV. Has anyone else noticed or tried this?

Okay. im commenting to see if anyone can help me. my 360 was not played for like a week and i started playing for like a half an our and i got the two lights. so right now i am debating whether to get the fan or send it in. any help from anyone?
RyanDoesBarrelRolls 3 years ago
Same issue here, as you can see. Can you tell us what game caused this accident?
Our recommendation is to not get an intercooler, and don't send it in for repairs. They're asking $99 for ours to be fixed. Just buy a new one (or core system) and just keep the old hard drive.
I'm looking deeper into this, and Microsoft's explanation is a faulty internal heat sink. A fan will keep it going for probably 10 more minutes at most. Take it from us.
thecultguy 3 years ago
i can't remember what game caused it. but im pretty sure i have a warrenty so that it is free if i send it in. not 100% sure of where the box it came in is so that might be a problem
RyanDoesBarrelRolls 3 years ago
yeah, i think they will need that box and stuff.
same thing happened to me, but i lost the warranty papers.
well maybe they dont need the box, but chances of that are slim.

recoyle1 3 years ago
Yeah this happened to me. My warranty was void so I figured I would try to fix it myself. It was very dusty on the inside. I thought that was the problem so I cleaned of all the dust with a compressed air bottle. There was no dust left when I closed it up, but when I turned it on thinking I had solved the problem 1 min after I put in COD4, 2 red lights! I don't know what is wrong with it because the fan is working and its not getting any hotter than it normally gets so how is it overheating?
Daisuke7238 3 years ago
This has been flagged as spam show
thats what we're here to find out
thecultguy 3 years ago
I think I may have figured it out. I thought it was the 360 that was overheating, but I found a site that said the power bricks can also overheat causing the 2 red lights. So I unplugged my power cord cooled it of with a fan and my 360 worked for about 40 min then got the 2 red lights. I think my power brick needs to be replaced. I probably have unplugged the power brick once or twice since I got my 360, no wonder it broke. Maybe you just need to replace the power brick?
