So let me guess, you were in the middle of an epic COD battle and the Xbox 360 red ring of death finally caught up to you.
I guess you have been pretty luck up until this point if this is the first time this has happened to you.
They say that one out of every three Xbox 360s have three blinking lights or another error at some point.
If this has happened to you, try to relax, and know that there is hope to get your system up and running quickly.
Let's take a look at the errors and what they mean to you: Xbox 360 Red Ring of Death If there is anything good about this, its that the lights indicate what the error is.

• 1 Red Light means that the problem is Xbox hardware failure.
  
• 2 Red lights indicate overheating of the console itself.
  Turn it off and leave it unplugged for a few hours until it feels cool to the touch.
  
• 3 Red Lights is what is affectionately referred to as the red ring of death (RROD).
  We will discuss this in more detail in a second...
  
• 4 Red Lights is an indication of a loose AV cable.
  Verify all connections and swap out to a new cable if necessary.
  

When To Worry: 1 and 3 Red Light Errors The most common cause of 1 red light and 3 red light error is that the systems GPU has become loose.
The combination of heat, which is typical on a motherboard, and a cold-soldering technique cause this.
