Xbox 360 Red Rings Fix...
#11
The GPU could be loose so this may not work because of demanding games, caused by overheating and vibrating

Simple remove your HDD, any games, and AV cable from your box, leaving the power cable connected.
Wrap that baby up in 3 or so towels, set it on the floor (Make sure you turn it on Big Grin) and go do something for about 30 minutes.
When you return, your room should smell like burnt plastic.
Unwrap your Xbox, unplug power cable and sit on a tile floor or in front of a fan to cool for 25 minutes.
Then plus it all back in, and Viola! your Xbox should be (almost) as good as new.

WARNING!:
If you Xbox is still under warranty, I do not reccomend doing this.
Just send it back.

Xbox isn't under warranty so I have nothing to worry about.
But I have tried the towel trick and it refuses to work.
I have wrapped it in 4 towels and have left it on for OVER 24 HOURS!
And it still would not get hot. The next day I unwrapped it and it felt the same as the day before.
So my question is, why is the xbox not getting hot at all?

Yes, it has a very slim chance to cause a fire but if it is your last resort, why not.
Better than the $140 price Microsoft charges to fix RROD w/o warranty.

If only Microsoft Fully tested things before they released it the world would be a better place.

No it isn't. It's a hardware error.

2 Red rings is overheating.

Search on youtube for towel trick, there's loads and loafds of different methods.
War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
