Everybody, i seen to be cursed in the way that, every time i buy hardware,it overheats......My new xbox360(yay:D ) is in my house for a month and i have NOT played more than 4 hours WITHOUT taking at least a 10 minute breat in every sesion after 3-4 hours.But today i was enjoying fallout 3 AND BANG three rings of light after only 30 mins of gaming.Ok,i restarted the console and everything worked fine,power brick displaying the correct green light.Then i shut it down and wait 20 minutes for it to cool.After that i play again fallout 3 and after 20 mins of fun BANG 3 rings of fire.....At first i thought it was some kind of power loss,because my comp was down too...but after the second one.......any sugestions

Is your console well ventilated? Make sure to give it some room. Also, make sure there is nothing blocking the air vents.

if your computer went down as well it could have been a power surge, which isnt good for Mr. 360
