As you could already know one of the major reasons for the red ring of death is overheating. This is caused by poor ventilation and lengthened running times. There are however one or two tips and tricks into getting your Xbox 360 up and running again as safely and quickly as possible . Below I have listed the main techniques.

First thing to try is turning your console off and leaving for about an hour. After this time has passed turn your console back on. This should resolve the problem for the moment but there may be other issues that may cause the red ring of death to reoccur.

Check where your Xbox 360 is stored. If it is in an entertainment unit with doors this may cause overheating. So if you’re aiming to keep your Xbox going well and cool it is recommended to play with the doors open. Or ideally try moving your console on to an open shelf. Also some people have their console on a bookshelf wedge in with books and there is very little air getting into the Xbox, so be aware of where you set up your Xbox 360.

To cool down your Xbox down try positioning it next to an air-con unit, try and line it up so that the air will pass through the vents on the console. If you’ve an a / c unit running already it may as well chill your Xbox down too.

If you’ve a laptop computer cooling pad try sitting the Xbox on it for approximately a half hour before playing again. This should adequately cool down the console for you to start playing.

You may find that your Xbox is overheating more and more ; this is a sign that the fan is not as good as it used to be. It can be a god idea to purchase an external fan for your console. These are readily available at most online game stores. The great thing about these types of fans is that they fit to your machine without looking to awkward. Installing an extra fan will also help to cool down your Xbox down speedily and safely.

I’m hoping this article has given you a few things to consider. There is one more thing I’d like to tell you, some people have made a decision to wrap their Xbox in a bag and put it in the fridge in an effort to cool it down far quicker. This is a terrible idea as the console is not built to be at temperatures so far below freezing point. In fact this may cause more problems with your console. So if you are making an attempt to cool your Xbox down safely follow the points above and you should be running again in almost no time.
