(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I have found the answer to why a lot of people are getting the 3 red rings and having to send their Xbox 360 in!!!!!!!!

I went to Gamestop just looking around today 11/14/09 and I told the guy that I bought MW2 and that my MW2 was freezing at 1:30 am, so I let my Xbox rest for the night thinking it would be fine in the morning, but it wasn't. It kept freezing and finally I got the 3 red rings.

He said the soder in the Xbox melts and screws up the motherboard. He also said that Microsoft knew this was going to be a problem(modern warfare 2 overheating and melting). They have tried to fix it, but they could not get it to.

Gamestop had a brand new Xbox 360 Elite right out of the box get the 3 red rings from MW2.

I recommend not playing it for more than maybe 8 hours or you may have this problem.

DO NOT TRY TO FIX THIS YOURSELF IT IS IMPOSSIBLE! DO NOT TAKE IT APART IT COULD ERASE YOUR WARRANTY FOREVER!

Please rep me if this has helped

8 hours straight? Probably never going to happen, so no worries for me.

Playing any game for more than 8 hours straight will probably give you the RROD, not just MW2.

ive played for like 12 or 14 without rrod for a long time

Playing over 3 hours is going to mess your Xbox up. You need to take breaks as it is, not good for you

Yeah man I'm pissed. My xbox is f***ed! I am getting a new one Wednesday. Hopefully it won't screw up!

iv left my ps3 on for 2 weeks xD
dam i would hate to see an xbox be left on for 2 weeks...
(2weeks later) melted xbox

look on ebay buy a better fan and install it your self or use a clip on 1

i use both and never had rrod on my consoles

ms suck for making such a faulty console

yeah 25 hours so far nothing atm

I have had my Xbox 360 on for over 30 hours without anything happening to it, and it's still working just fine after 2-3 years.
