Since the release of the Xbox 360 in 2005, this system has been causing Xbox 360 owners severe frustration due to the breakdown of the system. What is the main causes of the three red lights and how can this problem be solved?

The main cause of the xbox 360 game failure is the console can be over heated by poor ventilation to the system. One reason for overheating is actually where the xbox 360 is located. try and keep your game in a cool, well ventilated location and keep the vents in the rear of the console free from dirt or blockage. When the game over heats, this causes the soldering on the mother board to come loose and thus causing the 3 red lights and system failure.

The nyko intercooler was released as an accessory to help resolve the issue of over heating. This is an accessory for the Xbox 360, which attaches to the system, pumping more air into the console and thus keeping it cool. However, some sources have reported that this inter cooler has caused the system to fail as well, due to the pulling of too much power from the system.

The first way to resolve this issue is to ship your xbox 360 back to microsoft and have them repair it. Speaking from experience, microsoft says it can take 6 to 8 weeks to get your console back, due to the higher than expected volume to repair the game. The good news is that microsoft has extended the warranty on the game up to 3 years, so the repair is free. However, if you are like me, 6 to 8 weeks is a long time to wait for your system.
