this morning i tried to put 360 on to play some cod3 online, and soon as the game starts it freezes. this happens like 3 times. then i get three red lights and i check all the cords and everythings is as it should be, but it doesnt work. 15 minutes later i put it on and it works like no problem. then hours later i play again and get 3 red lights, but the console works perfectly. at the moment im online and red lights are flashing, but it works. it shouldnt be heating because its well ventilated place as is the "brick".

Three red lights is a hardware failure.

Sounds like its dying, mine did the same thing before completely going belly up. 3 red lights is for hardware failure, not overeating

Yeah, but it will get progressively worse until it doesn't work at all. Happened to me once. It worked for a couple more days before it finally and completely crapped out. Luckily this was back when sending it in was free and it only took 8 days from the time it crashed to the time I got it back from MS.
