As soon as i turn the xbox on the fan makes a loud noise and I get two red lights, as it isnt 3 microsoft aparently don't cover it under their three year warranty so might jus wait for it to have a hardware failure aswell. I think its a fan problem but im unsure. Also if i give it a bit of a whack it works for 5 mins then the same problem. Maybe full of dust or something?

yeah, same thing happend to me.
i played re5 for about 30 mins. put in 2k9 for an hour, and out of nowhere it shut off like you said. i turned it off, waited, turned it on, then it worked. i let it stay on for 30 seconds. then decided that id call myself lucky for the day. then i let it sit for a day, turned it on, then it automaticly had 2 red rings.
i really dont want to send it in, id rather find a quick easy fix. (such as the towel for the 3 ring)

I have the same problem with my 360 it use to over heat every ten minutes i had it vertical now i have it horizontal and i have a fan blowing into the air intake side now it last for hours.Someone on top said that this problem is free to repair don't believe the hype they want an additional $100 bucks to fix this this angers me very badly I've only had it for a year and a half i think they rigged the hardware that way only two red lights show up not the red rings of death only the red ring s of death are under warranty.Right now I'm trying to find Microsoft address so i can report them to the BBB if anyone knows the support fisical address post it ok thnx

I got a Xbox 360 yesterday and when I turned it on it worked for a few minutes until I turned it off. When I came back I turned it on it wouldnt work at all, it just showed the 2 redlights right away and the fans went on then off within 5 secs. I blew some air thru the holes with an air dryer and it worked but only for a few minutes. I tryed vacuuming the holes but that didnt work at all, and I dont want to break the seal trying to open it up (plus Id probably screw something up). SOMEONE HELP!!!

I too get the two flashing red lights around the power buton. The only way to stop it is to unplug the system from the wall.
I also have many other problems, such as disk tray not opening and once disc is in, I keep getting a message saying please enter xbox 360 disks. Now I know these disks are for the 360 becuz they are brand new. What's the deal.
My system is out of warranty.

Hi, i have the same problem, the xbox works for 2 minutes, makes a loud reving up sound, few seconds later it switches off with 2 red flashing lights. It is definitely not over heating because ive and the left it off for 2 days at the most to cool down, out it in an open space the fans do work. I really dont know what is wrong with it and i want it fixed.

I also had 2 red lights problem with my Xbox 360 and i didn't want to send my xbox to Microsoft for 2-3 weeks. I searched on google and got the guide available at fix-xbox-360.info
I don't know whether it works for every xbox but you can give it a try

I just posted a thing yesterday saying that my boyfriend fixed his by redoing the silicon piece in the gray box on the wall cord...well, it worked only for like 20 minutes and now it's doing the same thing again. Won't even cut on at all. what now?
Comment by crayzeebeuti, posted on Nov 25, 2008
My boyfriend's XBOX 360 just got the 2 red lights the other day and we were gonna send it back to Microsoft but he's stubborn and wanted to try and fix it himself. Skeptically, I watched him and he took the enitre thing apart until reading on here about the gray cord that plugs into the wall and how the silicon inside that gray box for the cord may need to be replaced. He took that apart (starting with that bc it was the smaller of the bunch) and to his and my amazement, it worked! The light on the cord box would stay yellow, the power light had the 2 red rings, the fans would cut off after about 3-5 seconds, and it wouldn't even start up/turn on properly. Now, as soon as he fixed the silicon piece in the gray box on the cord, the green light on that came on, the red lights on the XBOX power thing went away and both fans came on steadily blowing. Problem solved! Thanks everyone!

2 red lights on the light ring, xbox shuts off when they appear. the console's fan is extremely loud for about 10 minutes prior to shutting off. sometimes problem resolves itself in a few hours only to resurface within a few days.

Okay everyone I want you to think about this. All of us have the same problem and it has occurred aruond the same time frame. I don't know about you but my 360 has been working fine until I got an update for my guitar hero world tour, and about 10 minutes into playing the game I got 2 red lights all the time even with other games. Does anyone think this could because of that update with the guitar hero world tour? Please comment back

When I turn it on it starts to boot and even begins the game but then less than 2 or 3 minutes later it shuts off and there's 2 red lights. The fan also sounded louder than usual while it was one until it turned off. I have never had a problem until now. Is there a way to fix it??
Comment by antman242, posted on Oct 29, 2008
I'll have turned on my 360 and after less than 10 minutes the system turns off and two red lights come out. I know this means it has overheated, but after it shouldn't happen after just a couple of minutes. Right before this, though, the fans start becoming louder and it sounds as if they might be blowing out stronger.
Comment by Guest, posted on Oct 29, 2008
I have only just taken my BRAND NEW 360 out of its box, set it up, put in juiced2 and started to play, after a few minutes the screen goes black and the 2 red lights appear.

SAME DAMN PROBLEM!!!...My Xbox did it for 6 months, I finally got sick of it and didn't play it for a month, Thinking that It would magically heal itself or stop all the ********...IT DIDN'T!!!...I rented Saints Row II today and then played for 15 minutes and BAM!!!...did it again...please help:)
Comment by Guest, posted on Oct 27, 2008
To start with the console started up fine but there was no video, but the sound worked. I opened it up and cleaned it out, removed the thermal compound and got rid of all the compound that had melted off over the cpu and gpu then put some new compound on it.....started it up and it worked fine.
BUT THEN!!! I turn it off to put the case back together, plugged it in again all smug because i fixed it...then i got 2 red lights!!! Not happy now.
Best thing to do is send it back to MS if its still covered, DONT OPEN IT!!! If you can send it back just do it!
I think im just going to have to get some better fans and try and rig some smaller fans up to the heat sinks (if i can work out how to do it!)

Comment by gunnerman29, posted on Oct 13, 2008
i have the same prob but when i restart my xbox it will do it again and again and all the time. i think the best way is if the xbox doesnt come back on and goes straight into 2 red light then send it off but if it plays again but goes off another 15mins later then get a cooling adapter which will blow air through the hole xbox and hopefully fix it.
hope it helps..

Have the 2 light problem. You could start the xbox but would immediately have two red lights. I took it apart and cleaned all the dust out of it and the aftermarket fan that it sits on.
Plugged in and would be ok for a few minutes, fan would crank up in RPM and bang....two red lights.
Have already removed and reapplied arctic silver to cpu and gpu.....twice. Have tried to readjust the tightness of the screws holding the heatsinks on. That helped a bit...if I have the screws completely tight, I immediately get the 2 lights. If I back them off half a turn then it takes about 4 minutes before the fan cranks up and then I get the 2 lights and the fan turns off.
Doesn't seem to help if I back them off any further.
HEEEELLLLLLPPPP!

I have been buying xbox 360's off many people that are haveing this problem for 40$-50$ after they have tryed many things to fix the problem 9 times out of ten the GPU is caked in dust. if you dont have a warrenty take apart the xbox carefully useing a small thin peice of metal on the clips i use a paper clip take out only the long screws ( if you see threads on the screw right away then its not the long ones) useing a hexhead screwdriver or small philips. take off the top of the 360 and use a shopvac (I use the addaptor for small areas) and toothbrush to clean out the GPU and maybe some compressed air (DUSTOFF not co2 cartrages or aircompressor) and blow out the rest of the area inside. clean off all the case and other parts you removed and assemble your 360 back to the way it was. poof works like new again. as for people who use intercoolers and what not i have found those may pull in more dust and block your gpu worse and their is a greater buildup of dust in the fan chamber. so far i have fixed over 9 xbox 360's and sold them to people for 100-150$ for only 15 min worth of work.

So i ran home and my house burst into flames. Only my xbox and Tv i had in my shed were still there. So i ran into the shed, but the heat of the flames caused my xbox to become overheated (I wonder why) . And then we drove to Texas to get it fixed, but are car got spun out into a bay in the Pacific Ocean in Houston, Texas.

3. the controlers keep vibratring as if the game is still on
4. we have to uinplug the x box to get it to cut off.
we've tried to let it cool off, but that didn't work, after we waited a while the game played for a few minutes longer then every time we tried to restart it, it kept cutting off in less and less time

The Same Thing Happens To Me. it seems random and my 360 is cold and i
barely turn it on this is my fourth xbox360 that i have gotten from
Microsoft after i called 18004myxbox and was on hold and hung up on
after a half hour. so everyone can imagine how pissed and frustrated i
am. I hate Microsoft and therefore have started a world wide boycott of
all Microsoft products because this is a perfect example of how much
they care about customer service and what us as consumers mean to them
so please help me teach corporate America a lesson that the little
people do have a voice. P.S. I also just bought a MAC : )

It all happens randomly, somenights every minute or so other nights not at all, Whilst playing a game the Xbox 360 switches itself off and two red lights appear. I'm told this is an overheating problem but my Xbox is always stone cold. I need help. The xbox is on a well ventilated hard shelf.

Why are there problems like this, this is microsoft and there should be no need for hovering and DIY and all this rubbish, prehaps it would be more helpful if more people complained and they sorted out the fault, I'm sick of it and its GOING BACK.

i can play any game on my xbox for about 40 mins then the screen just shuts off and so does the xbox, but the lights still flash. I am thinking of getting a cooling unit however many people say it just makes the problem worse. So as you can see i am in two minds. Can anyone help me?
Comment by kevintony, posted on Mar 16, 2008
when we turn on the console, it works for a minute or two, but then the tv screen goes blank and 2 red lights of the ring on the console start blinking. This happens no matter how many times we try to turn on the console.

Played a game for 5 minutes when I hear my 360 getting louder and louder
like it was about to explode so I quickly turn it off. I turn it back on and the same thing happens, only the screen goes black and the fan is still running loud as ever and the 2 red lights show up.
When I tried to turn it off again nothing was happening, making me have to unplug to turn it off.
This is my third xbox already wtf is up with this!
