After several games freezing and my system overheating I began to wonder what options exist to fix freezing xbox 360. Do I have to purchase a new system? Did my games cause this to happen? I really did not know what the source of the problem was or what my options were to fix my xbox. One thing I did know was I wanted the problem solved and my xbox running ASAP!

The Problem:

One third of all xbox gaming systems have problems related to overheating and faulty cooling systems. It is an internal hardware problem. The system freezes itself in order to cool down. This is sometimes referred to as Error e74 also known as the Red Rings of Death. Three red lights will appear on your console and you know there is a problem. Your system has overheated and it is not your fault. You do not need to purchase a new console it is possible to fix and repair your system back to 100% health.

The Solution:

Microsoft’s solution is for you to ship your console to them and they will gladly fix the problem for you for a lot of money and six weeks worth of waiting. I decided for myself that since Microsoft caused the problem they would not be getting any more money from me on this issue. I learned that it is possible to fix this internal problem by myself with a few household tools and it would only take about an hour. A clear repair guide walked me through the procedure from start to finish and my xbox console was fixed. I did it all myself and Microsoft did not get any money from me!
