got this xbox a few months ago and things are lookin good until the other day the fan suddenly went beserk and the system shut off with those 2 red rings flashing. at first it wouldn’t even turn on, but now it does and i can play for like 2-5 mins then it shuts off off again. i’ve tried cleaning it, blowing the air out and even vacuming the dust out. any suggestions for a diy or how-to would be greatly appeciated and plz rate comment video. need advice on how to blog/make videos better

GET YOUR MONEY BACK!!!!! I was looking forward to buying one, but after seeing all these vids, no way will I waste hard earned money on that shit!!!! Staying with ps2 or 3.
Hey man, my xbox has the same problem except the first time it happened to me I saw smoke coming from the top of the Xbox, It sucks that there isn’t much people who know how to fix this.
this is exactly what happens to mine but the only game it does it to is g metallica everyother game works fine :[
this kid sounds like the kid from superbad!!!lol
thats what i got as of now!!! if u fixed it please tell me how!!
you have too much dust in the x box
I wish mine got to the dashboard I tried vaccuming it EVERYTHING and it still goes to 2 tres light segments right when I turn it on
Mine is doing the same thing and i dnt have it on carpet like it plays for a little bit than during the game it goes to a black screen with 2 red lights..but now wen i cut it on it says “Your Xbox 360 console is designed to automatically shut down to protect it from insufficient ventilation an other stuff…what should i do cause i tried everything but nothing works
how did you fix it
try vacuuming your power brick….it worked for me……………. and dont put the xbox or the power brick on carpet.

@endlesshigh Haha yeah. Mines been doing that too (2 rings and graphics all glitchy before it happens) but its because it just started to get about 90 out and ur only supposed to play from like 40 to 75 degree temperature. Our AC broke…
@endlesshigh true, but believe me, getting the heat trapped underneath and around it will make it overheat EXTREMELY quickly! Trust me, that’s what i did when i first had my 360, and it was not pretty. Just Make Sure nothing is crowding the console itself or the power supply ( big freaking box thing that older systems didnt need). and you should be ok.
@xXCWALDROUPXx lol i didnt notice cuz i moved it to the ground to get a better video of what was happing. fosho it wasnt because of being upside down. problem was the thermal paste inside melted away and it was overheating.
@SilentxAssassinx09 normally my xbox is on my shelf, but i thought that putting on the ground show it can be seen better because better lighting.
dude u have it upside down.
another tip is don’t put the 360 on the carpet, cuz by doing that, the heat get’s trapped in the carpet and stays under the 360. put it someplace smooth like a shelf or the box it came in. It’s overheating, so that might be why.
Your xbox was overheating, you need it to cool down by shutting it down for a while
the 2 rings is the first stage of the rrod, i have the same problem
