Your Xbox is overheating. You either need to call Microsoft and send it in for repairs or (if you can do this) you need to open it up and replace the x-clamps.

If he didn't get or see the 3 rings of death, then it's not overheated. Probably it's just that the 360 is mest up itself. Try fixing it yourself (you can search on youtube on how to do it) or just call Microsoft and send it over to repair.

if its 3 rings of death then u might want to go to youtube. they have a bunch of tuts for that. u can also turn it on and wrap it with a towel. ( it causes some of the metal to melt on the inside, making 3 rings go away

Yes but the towel trick can actual do more damage and usually only lasts two weeks. I only did it once and that was to be able to play it while I waited to get it shipped out to them.

who ever said the towel trick that can be very risky and may damage it and may only run for 2 weeks i really don't recommend you do that..
