Xbox 360 Red light annoyence

Question

i have an xbox 360, well i did until 3 red lights appeared on the ring of light, i started to notice it was freezing alot when i was playing rainbow six vegas, my computer had the same problem and i discovered it had a virus, my xbox was connected by the ethernet cable when this happened so i was wondering if the virus could have targeted my xbox 360 aswell and caused the problem, if so can microsoft fix it.

Answer 1

YUP! ITS CALLED DA RING OF DEATH THATS DA ONLY THING MICRO. SLACKED IT ON !!!

THEY COULD FIX IT

Answer 2

I doubt the rrod (red ring of death) was caused by a virus on your computer. it is caused by the shoddy soldering microsoft used in the console. basically, it cant handle much heat, and when it gets to hot, the solder melts and the curcuits fall apart.

BUT DONT WORRY!

Microsoft recently announced 3 year extended warranty for rrod sufferers. (this only applies to the rrod, because it is such a common problem).

Answer 3

If you were playing x-box live then u might of got host booted and got a virus like that. Your computer just couldn't handle it. I had the same problem with the red lights, i call them the 3 rings of death lol. Don't send the box to Microsoft because they will loose it and you wont get your money back. Trust me it has happened to me.Your box maybe over heating and that's why it freezes up. Good luck!
