| The only red ring of death I know of is the unfixable one that Microsoft will replace your Xbox free for getting. I don't have the white 360, but the black 360S, so I don't have to worry about that one. I'm sure there's other reasons for red rings, but I don't know what causes any but the one red light: overheating. |

| 3 red rings = General hardware failure. Although Ive no problem with my 360 Arcade, it sounds like you might want to send it back for service repairs. |

| The white 360 consoles were terrible for overheating, what probably happened was, it got too hot and the temperature auto shutdown failed causing a circuitboard to fail. One of the big improvements of the black 360-S was that the cooling system got a huge buff, the fan on mine is absolutely massive.
One thing that pissed me off about mine, is I need a 360 hard drive in order to play original Xbox games like Halo: Combat Evolved. Mine came with COD: MW2 and Mass Effect 2 instead of the hard drive.
ME: 2 is epic though, and I can't wait for ME: 3. |

| G-1-D, next time, dont spend too many hours playing. It can cause the hardware to either overheat or the heatsink itself to fail. xD |

| There is a way....but I don't know if it's true or false. And besides, it might be too late for you to do it anyway. Throw it in the freezer for a bit and then try again in 1-2 hours. |
