    Three flashing red lights around the Xbox 360 power button (nicknamed the "Red Ring of Death" or "Red Lights of Death" or "Red Ring of Doom"), instead of the one to four green lights indicating normal operation, represent an internal problem that requires service. Warning signs may include freeze-ups, graphical problems in the middle of gameplay, such as checkerboard or pinstripe patterns on the screen, and sound errors, and the console only responds to pressing the power button to turn it off. These events may happen once or several times until the hardware failure occurs, or not at all. If the console freezes occasionally, the error will not necessarily follow. The technical problems seem to affect some generations of consoles more than others. e.g. Xbox 360 60GB

    This error code is usually caused by failure of one or more hardware components, although it can indicate that the console is not receiving enough power from the power supply, which can either be due to a faulty power supply or if the power supply cable is not fully inserted into the console. The 3 flashing lights can also be caused by power surges; if the console is connected to an outlet that receives a power surge, it may have a failure and the 3 lights will appear as long as the console is plugged into the outlet. Turning off the console, unplugging all power cables and plugging them back in, and restarting the console will fix the issue in this case.

    Distinct from the General Hardware Failure is a similar-looking error warning where four red lights appear, in which case the console does not detect an AV cable is plugged in. The four lights can sometimes also be seen when power surges or very brief power outages occur while the console is running, in which the console needs to be unplugged and plugged back in again to reset the error. Two red lights appear when the system is overheated.

    On the new Xbox 360 slim, Microsoft has removed the capability to light the rings around the power button red, instead the Open button flashes red to warn you that the system will automatically close to not damage the console. It's nicknamed the "Red Dot of Doom" or the "Red Dot of Death."

Explanation of 'Red Rings' on Xbox 360

The xbox 360 video game console has a 'Ring of Light', a circle of 4 bi-color LEDs, with a green LED in the center.  This is used to indicate what state the console is in, and allows the user to diagnose faults with the console.  Each of the LED 'quadrants'  has a number: 1 is upper left, 2 is upper right, 3 is lower left, and 4 is lower right.  The position of the numbered quadrants stays the same whether the console is placed horizontally or veritically.  

Powered On

The Power LED is illuminated green when the console is switched on and operating normally.  The number of quadrants lit indicates how many controllers are connected.

Hardware Failure

When a failure of a hardware component occurs, Q4 will flash red.  Usually, a two digit error code is displayed on the connected display (such as E74)

Overheating

When the temperature of the console reaches and unusually high level, the console will shut off the CPU and GPU, run the fans at full speed and flash Q1 and Q3 untiil the console has cooled sufficiently.

General Hardware Failure

When a failure of one or more hardware components occurs, Q1, Q3, & Q4 will flash red.  This is similar to the one light error, but there is no error code displayed on the connected display

AV Cable Error

When the AV cable is not detected, due to not being plugged in or due to a serious error, all four quadrants will flash red.  This error code is not displayed on consoles with an HDMI connection.
