The Three Lights of Doom... Didn't Kill My 360?

Weird case actually, just the other night my 360 got those three horrible lights. I really didn't waste anytime at that point. I took out the game, unplugged the controller, and turned off the console. I gave it five minutes, and it worked perfectly. I was curious if anyone else had this problem, cause it seemed odd.

Too boot, 360 in a sheld thats about 3 feet wide, and about a foot and a half from front to back. Plenty of room, since the console is placed in there by itself. The power block is set behind the entertainment center, a good foot away from any other power wides and such. No carpet, my bedroom floor is hardwood.

Hey guys, I found a video on google on fixing the Ring of Death. Hope it helps!

I have the Gamestop warranty, and I wanted to know if that alone was enough to warrant me taking it back and exchanging it, or do I have to wait until it dies a slow and painful death. Answers are appreciated!

Don't think that is a good sign.  I actually had the three rings for the first time about a 1 1/2 months ago.  Turned it off and back on a little later and it worked fine.  Since then, almost every time that I start the game up, I would get the E67 error code with one ring flashing, but then it would work after about the third try.  Then the other night, The whole console shut down while play gears with the three rings flashing again.  Now, it seems to be working again.  We'll see, I think it's on its last leg.  Not bad though, it is a launch console and it already lasted longer than both Xboxs I owned.

I'm not that sure it was overheating, though it isn't exactly out of the question...

It is still cold over here, and the heating in my room sucks. So sometimes I have to put on a space heater, though I really doubt that would be doing it. Its like 5 feet away from myself, and I'm a good four from my console... Could it really have caused the problem?

It looks like I'll have to play with one freakin' window open now. Hoorah!

hey get this no joke, im on the computer this morning, reading this exact forum because i have had the rings once b4 and had to send it in, got it bak bout a month later

i got hell bored go to play sum mass effect, and i turned on the damn 360 and what happens the fukn rings have come bak to haunt me, great.
