My Xbox entered the red light district last night

Yes power plug is very important. You can easily see 3 red light if you dont properly plug it in.

If you get 3red lights again, And Dont force the console to Turn on , Wait several minutes then try again. (Then next time wait for a longer time period )

Try without Harddrive and Xbox Live,

IF you can reach the menus you can go to

System - Console Settings - Memory -

Highlight  the HDD the press Y ,

Enter X , X , LB , RB , X , X

then choose YES.

Still problems? Then Call Xbox Customer Service

Ok brilliant so it could just be as simple as i didnt connect it properly?

I hope so anyhow

i think it was just something unplugged, so you have nothing to worry about. if it shut off on its own then that meant it was gonna over heat, so the problems you listed are common. and if the red- lights of death came on it would give you a message stating that your system would need to be repaired2ndWonder

Oh no i had no message just three red lights... But as i said i unplugged it all and reconnected it and it was fine so i blame it on human error.... Fingers crossed...

Mine has froze 3 times whilst playing Oblivion but i have read the Oblivion reviews and it says its normal to experience technical errors during later stages of the game.

Warning to all 360 owners stay away from the Nyko intercooler after about 8 months try taking it off. The plastic will melt onto you consoles power conductors, and will keep your console from getting the power it needs to function.Sherjas24

In my experience 3 red lights can also be caused by a power surge, such as lightening striking near by, or a dip in current, such as a brownout. When this happened i simply turned off my xbox and turned it right back on. Also, Ive had oblivion running for 36 hours straight with no freezings.Bobbomadic121

A Brownout? does that involve the crapper alot of pushing followed by toilet paper to wipe up.
