There are several error codes you can get with an XBOX 360, the first step to resolving any problem is finding the root cause. The fault codes are primarily shows on the "ring" on the front of your console (this is the ring split into 4 segments that shows when controllers are connected and what player position they are).
1 SEGMENT FLASHING RED - Thisindicates a displayable error code, the specific error code will bebeing displayed on the TV you have it connected too.
2 SEGMENTS FLASHING RED - The console has overheated.
3 SEGMENTS FLASHING RED - This is the somewhat infamous RROD (Red Ring Of Death).
4 SEGMENTS FLASHING RED - AV cable not detected.
If you have 1 segment flashing red indicating a displayable specific error code then you can identify the fault from the list below.
E45 - Update Error.
E64, E65, E66 - DVD Drive Error.
E67, E68, E69, E79 -Hard Drive Error.
E71 - Update Error.
E72 - Unknown.
E73 - General Hardware Error.
E74 -AV cable error.
E76 - Unknown.
This is a basic overview of all the fault codes for the XBOX 360, for more in depth information on the faults and how to repair them please see my other tips!
Yikes! red ring is not good, if the whole ring is red you need to check your AV cables, three sections is the Red Ring of Death and you need to send your Xbox in for repairs(http://support.xbox.com/en-us/pages/xbox-360/troubleshoot/flashinglights.aspx). Off the top of my head I can't remember what the two or one red sections mean, I do know their not as serious as the three. my girlfriends freezes from time to time and red rings, but when we restart her system it all goes away (sometimes it still jams at the Xbox load screen)
From what i understand, any strange video problem is typically a telltale sign that a red ring of death is in the near future. In past consoles I've repaired, people have complained about "tinting", "lines", etc etc.... if your console is still under warranty, I would suggest sending it back to them. Or you can find someone like myself who does repairs.
if 3 of 4 lights are blinking red, you have a red ring of death and need to contact microsoft. this is distubingly common on some of the older 360 models.
that the red ring of death go to the xbox page and check if it is still in warrenty if so you should send it in and they will fix it and give you a free month of live
