Hey Guys,

Within the last 5 or 6 hours I noticed that my xbox was really loud. I know the 360's are already horribley loud but recently it had been even worse. Anyway, I'm happily playing along on rainbow six vegas 2 when suddenly I get 50% of the circle flashing red. I thought OMG but then realised it was only two parts of the circle flashing, not three. I searched and found that it might just be overheated. After leaving it for about 2 hours I came back, switched it on but it started flashing again after being on for about 5 minutes. Anyone got any clues?

Which way do you keep your xbox? As in standing upright, Or flat down?
I used to keep mine standing upright, But due to the hazards of having a little brother it constantly fell scratching all my discs.
So I keep it flat down, I have never had the Red Ring. I know 4 is a sign of something unplugged. 3 your doomed. 2, 1 usually due to overheating.. Cover it in a dry towel (I know it sounds stupid but it actually works, I've seen it done on *******)

Shit, my controller keeps fucking disconnecting randomly. I'd be p0wNinngfgg t3h Z0mB13 nuBz0rz than "Reconnect Controller" (Left 4 Dead). Microsoft must be generally shit

It works for a week, it only makes the problem worse after that.

I'd reccomend that if it is overheating you replace the thermal paste under the chip, buy some artic silver If your not a techy guy find someone near you who will do it for a small fee.

Xbox360 gets loud because of the Procceser.

Elite.

I've had the same problem, It's overheated or you have fried something. Open your case up, and leave it for about 5-6 hours.

I think you're talking about Red Ring of Death.
This is a known problem, I have 3 Xbox 360 with this problem.
There are a lot of tutorials explaining how to fix this, just use: "http://www.******.com/"
By the way, M$ already fixed that problem with the new JASPER motherboards.
