My Xbox 360 keeps freezing up and
then the lights go all red. Any idea of
what is going on would be appreciated. I've had the system for
over a year and never had any
problem with it.Thanks for any info
in advance.

If you're getting four red lights then it's an AV cable problem...

If it's three red lights then the 360 needs a free repair/replacement...

Make sure the 360 and power brick are well ventilated.

Yeah, it's four red lights. Thanks for the info. Now I at least
have something to try to work with now.

You still have to send it in - it probably isn't the AV cable itself, but
the port dealing with the AV cable.

Isn't the the cursed RROD? Or is it 3 red lights?

Well, it COULD be the cable. If he sticks in a composite cable (which comes
with the 360), then it's the cable, and not the 360. 3 red lights means it's
the 360. 4 red means it could be the 360 *or* the cable.

Hey, I thank everyone for their input.
I've been at work and haven't been
able to check it out yet. I'll let you
guys know how it works out. Again
I thank you.

Yes RROD is covered by the 3 year warranty and MS will either replace or
repair your 360 free of charge.Call MS and they'll send you a pre-paid
shipping box for you too pack it in. When you call MS ,they'll ask you
allot of questions trying to see 'if' you caused the RROD through
operator error. Just tell them you didn't use any 3rd party peripherals
like say a intercooler fan or a 3rd party power brick, don't even tell
them you used a surge protector, you just plugged it into the wall. Just
don't offer them information ,let them ask the questions first though
and just say NO to the obvious questions.
