Red Ring Of Death And Overheating Console - Are You To Blame?

The Xbox has had a number of problems with overheating and other issues since its introduction in 2005. It's common knowledge that the console's problems are the fault of Microsoft. Although Microsoft deserves a lot of this blame, you ought to realize that even the PS3 has its overheating problems as well.

Modern games demand a lot of power consumption on the part of the console. When a lot of power gets used, a lot of heat also gets produced. It's not easy to design a cooling system that will handle this kind of heat generation.

The sleek and compact console design also make the problem of cooling even more difficult to accomplish. Because of this, the Xbox must be used with the greatest of care. Below are a few of the bad practices that many people do which can cause damage to the console, your game discs, or even result in the red ring of death.

1.) Enjoy gaming marathons? Maybe you leave the console on when you aren't using it? Don't run your Xbox more than 90 minutes per session.

2.) Do you know that the console needs plenty of "breathing room"? The console draws lots of air in order to remain cool. This is also true of the power brick which draws in air with an internal fan. The main point is using an open environment and keeping the cooling inlets clear of grit and other obstructions. Don't use the console as a tray for newspapers, beverages, etc. This practice will obstruct the air flow to the Xbox.

3.) Have you ever moved the console when playing a game? This is the explanation for the circular scratch marks on many of your game discs. Perhaps you haven't moved the console deliberately but inadvertently jarring it will cause this.

4.) Are you using the Xbox on the floor in the center of the room? This is just begging for it to get stepped on or tripped over. The cables are likely to snag the foot of a pet or person. A further mistake is putting the console in an unstable location high off the floor.

5.) Have you ever tipped the console on its side? Microsoft has published photos of this, but this is a mistake. The fan intakes on the side get blocked off and your game discs will be scratched.

Customer abuse is often cited by repair specialists as the number one explanation for a malfunctioning Xbox.
