Um, what? I'm assuming 360. Overheating has almost nothing to do with other electrical devices. Is your 360 in a home theater setup? Is it on carpet?

Yes xbox, and yes on the carpet Is it standing up on the carpet? When I stand it up it makes this annyoing noise, like a bee. I normally put it faced down, but I tried both ways and both ways keep giving me 2 red lights. |

Do you leave it on for extended periods of time?
Only time I've heard of this happening are from guys who leave it on all night while not in use. Or they stop playing and can't save on a level... so they go to work for 8 hours and leave their game up.
(also, as indicated... carpet holds heat near the source. Put it on a book or something).

Do you have like 5-7 inches of space behind the back of the 360 and a wall or something? Also, how old is this 360?

About a foot from he wall, and probably 4 years Well, the only other recommendation I'd have besides calling Microsoft to get it repaired would be to take the hose part of a vaccum (the part that detaches) and run it across the vents on the 360 (while the vacuum is running) and try it again. It's possible that there's just a buildup of dust in there. However, due to the age, it's also possible that some of the fans in the case may have died, preventing the system from keeping itself cool. |

It blows cool air on the sides but in the back it feels that it's blowing warm air, I tried blowing dust out of everything...let's see

It's settled, nothing will help this peice of crap, Xbox's only last for 2 years than you send it back ffs. This thing is not overheating, I have an air conditioner, it's not on the carpet, I dusted it, and it's still a huge hunk of wasted space.

Even with all of the things you listed, it still could be overheating.

I had mine for about 6 years, until it crapped out on me. For some, it lasts a long time. For others, it lasts a short time. But sooner or later, if it's not a new xbox 360, it'll break eventually.

mine worked fine, till it started over-heating all the time (out of no-where). Its dying. find a place that repairs it for $60 like i did.
