    Default Oh god.. I'm scared :(

    I was playing my xbox and I've had 2 power surges in a row, which resulted in my xbox having the 3 red rings of death twice. I'm scared to have it on now, it's not happened since I turned it off and I don't know if it's the Xbox that caused it..

    What do you mean 'what do you mean?' I've had 2 power surges (3 now) while my xbox was on, making it have 3 red lights every time. And I think my xbox is causing it but I don't know.

    A power surge could be caused by any number of things and I wouldn't worry about the lights to much at the moment, try again tomorrow or something, turn it on, if it does the lights unplug it for 20-30 mins turn it back on and if the lights come up again call microsoft, I can't imagine it being a problem because I've had power cuts then my xbox coming up with red lights of death and it being completely fine after a little while, it's just the xbox pretty much thinking "ok I just shut down wrong so there must be an error" after a while it should be fine

    Thanks neil, I'm gonna wait till the morning until I turn it back on, I don't know whats happened. and earthquake, the three red lights mean a hardware failure, and a power surge is when everything electrical that need plugged in turns on and off without warning. For me, 3 times, I had power surges and my Xbox came up with 3 red lights.

    Mate you need to take the xbox back to the shop or get a new power lead, this is one of the problems as reported by the bbc
