Hmm, that's strange. If you get the RROD it usually crashes or when you turn it on it is already red... maybe it just over-heated or something? I would try turning it off for a few hours and unplugging it to be on the safe side.

Check your power brick and the wall socket if it's plugged in properly. That happened to mine also. Your Xbox is preventing iteslf from shortcircuting.

It's red ring of death if all four quarters of the ring are flashing. It's really easy to mistake 4 quarters for just 3, which has something to do with the video cables not being properly connected. It might have been that.
