Answer 4

i dont know why it happens but all you can do is give microsoft a call and let them know you need it repaired. you'll have to send it in and wait about 1-2 weeks for it to ship back. if you knew how to repair them i guess you could do it yourself but with most warranties if you open the system you void your warranty. so if you don't know what your doing just call and send it in

Answer 5

Hi,

the red ring of death is caused by overheating on the motherboard and don't worry it is not your fault as to the reason it heats up! The GPU and the CPU take far too much heat and then the soldering becomes loose and eventually snaps off and that is when you get the red rings.

You can fix it yourself with a good repair guide that has a full guarantee and video instructions or you can send it in and they will fix it for you.

It takes about 4 weeks to get it repaired!

Hope this helps!
