2 red lights? odd

[greenfilth]

i was playing my xbox and all of a sudden it shut off and showed the 2 upper lights flashing red, thought it was pretty odd,i turned it off unplugged everything and let it rest, i did some searches but i couldnt find anything really solid, i played it for about 30 mins again and it worked fine does anyone know what this means?

sorry if this is not the right section to post in im new here

it means you let your system get to hot

take breaks every few hours

i live in california its summer now and the temperatures are around 90-100 so maybe thats why, Is it broken though or is it just a warning?

The 2 read lights means the system overheated, so give it a break between gaming and it should be ok. I would at least keep my eye on the system if it keeps on shutting off and giving you the red lights consently then i would call up MS. Was this the first time it happened and has it happened anymore today?

you need to let the box your playing with rest every few hours or else it will turn red like that
