There are three options to choose
from when you have the Xbox 360 3 Flashing Red Lights problem. The reason the
problem occurs is due to the console getting too hot and overheating. Nothing
can be done about this because it is completely due to the design of the
equipment. The heat it encounters because of game play causes the Xbox 360 3
Flashing Red Lights to show. To counter act this Xbox 360 3 Flashing Red Lights
problem, you might consider letting the console sit where there is maximum air
flow instead of in a closet or cabinet where it is stuffy.
First, to try to fix the Xbox 360
3 flashing Red Lights problem, you can turn the console off and unplug anything
attached to the console including the hard drive. Put everything taken off back
on to clear the cache. There can be bad data stored on the hard drive and doing
this will help to remove it.
Next, you can try is to unplug
the console and turning it so it is in a vertical position. Take a hand and
apply pressure or squeeze the area where the hard drive is contained. The
pressure causes the motherboard to reset itself. It will not reset the internal
data but will help to fix the problem most of the time. Make sure the console
is off when this step is applied.
Third , make sure your
console is not running from an extension cord or surge protector and is running
into a wall outlet. The power surges can allow games with a high power setting
to run on lower settings causing the game to overheat. The power brick could also
be set on a box so the fan can move the air in and out as it needs to make it
easier to cool itself.
