Aaaah... The dreaded 3 rings of death... Your Xbox is screwed you have to get a new one... The newer ones don't have the 3 rings of death anymore they fixed that problem... But seriously you do have to get a new one.

i can deal with it because when i let it sit flashing for like an hour it works for a while so ill deal with it till i get however much the new ones are.

I've had this a few times. There are plenty of fixes for it. One involves sticking something small such as a q-tip or a paper clip to stop the fans from spinning. doing so will over heat your xbox. wait like 30 mins for the xbox to cool back down then start up and see what happens. there also is more complicated fixes that will work better. but if you have a warranty still, just send it back to Microsoft. if not i'd suggest pick up a new one.
