Three rings of death?(three red lights). If so i fixed mine. Opened it up and cleaned the chips under the heat sinks.

Its a pretty easy fix. Otherwise my 360 just died of another cause. Time for a new one.

Although it gets that when it gets hot, its the disc that got a perfect circle scratch around it.

x2

If its 3 rings, count the sequence it flashes in (twice pause three times pause 1 time) and you can know what is causing the fault. Save the time and call 1800-4MY-XBOX

They’re not too bad to fix. you can do it yourself for about $6 in parts from lowe’s if your motivated. otherwise people do it for around the $40-50 range. Not always a guaranteed long term fix but it will def get u back up and running for a while.

I second that. I fixed mine from the doomed 3 rings, worked good then went kaboom. I turn it on and a hear a loud whoosh of the fans then it shuts off.
