Xbox 360 had been a very good gaming console, and we knew that it performed way better than pS3. But, recently there is a lot of issue around Xbox 360 red rings of death. From the red rings of death error causes to Microsoft’s promise to temporary fixes all over the net and to final solution had been gaining a lot of attention. So, lets discuss on the problem and its possible solutions in this article.
The real cause for red rings of death is not known to 100% accuracy, but the most discussed cause is “overheating of Xbox” and Microsoft failing to adopt proper cooling mechanisms within the Xbox. This has lead Microsoft into real problems and widespread hatred. Lets see what Microsoft is upto regarding this issue.
So, does Microsoft stand upto defend its product? Yes, indeed. Microsoft has promised to replace or repair all the consoles which are affected by these dreaded red rings of death error. But again this problem doesn’t seem to be fixed. Even after replacing some of the consoles, the new console again proves to have the same problem. Even the Xboxs which were repaired and sent back again felt victim for the dreaded “Xbox 360 red rings of death” problem. So, is there a solution, Read on…
There seems to be a wide spread temporary fix for this problem all over the net. Its the infamous “Towel Method”. Yes, i have tried it on my Xbox 360. Do you know what, It Works! But just after two or three days the red rings of death problem arises again. But, it can fixed temporarily again using the same method. My serious recommendation would be to not use this method. Its like sabotaging your own Xbox. This method will cause more serious problems in the long run and its not a permanent fix either. I recently found a permanent fix for this problem.
Yes, there is a permanent fix for the problem of “Xbox 360 red rings of death”, and has nothing to do with involving Microsoft either. I found out a guide online which gave me the exact methods to repair my Xbox with just some tools which can be found in the household. It had clear step by step video instructions on how to fix my console and abolish red rings of death problem. Now am happy that I found this guide and can play my halo3 again in my brand new Xbox with out those ugly red rings of death.

The website that sells this manual, which I have used and found to work, is www.TheXBoxFix.com. The manual is $25, and comes with a guarantee. I had my machine up and running in 20 minutes.

First off.. I beleive the Cell Microprocessor is still quite a bit ahead of the xbox 360’s performance.
Secondly I would like to reveal to you the real reason the over-heading occurs.
The brilliant minds at microsoft put the GPU in direct contact with the DvD Drive of the system. If you were to take apart a system you will also find inadequate cooling for this GPU. It is wedged in a tight spot with very little ventilation. The resulting “ring of death” occurs when the GPU’s heat and the heat from the DVD drive produce a temperature at which the hardware stops functioning.

Valekraft,
Thanks for the insight. Sounds like they should stick to software!
