Agreed with the guy above. Pretty sure it's something to do with the power bar (ie - not plugged in any of the 3 places, wall xbox and power block respectively) Not 100% sure though.

I thought i seen somewhere that 2 red rings means that its overheating. Do you just turn your 360 on and the lights appear, or is it on for a little while and then they appear?

2 Red Lights for sure means that your XBOX 360 is overheating, and it's cutting itself off to prevent damage. Make sure that both the XBOX 360, and your power supply are in an open ventilated area.

Also if it is dusty you should blow out all of the dust because it insulates the system, causing it to hold more heat in. Make sure the fan on your system, and power supply is working.

Sections 1 and 3 are flashing red
- Your 360 is Overheating

Solution
Let the 360 cooldown, and it will then allow you to continue playing. However, before you start playing again, ensure that the 360 has adequate ventilation, on all sides, and is not in an enclosed area (as the hot air expelled from the console is most likely going to re-enter the console, slowly heating it up).
