Default Poll: XBox 360 Ring of Death from Forza

Hello All,

I'm interested to see who got affected by the Ring of Death due to Forza Motorsports 2?

I'm one of them. :wavey: Running Laguna Seca with a CTS when it suddenly flashed. Damn American cars!!!! On the support line as I type.

Many failures are due to the game's 60fps. read about it on the forums. just wondering if anyone else experienced this.

Haven't had the red lights of death yet and I play Rainbow Six Vegas all the time and I also play Forza 2. Knock on wood.

Sorry, bud, i don't.


But if it happens, call 1-800-4MY-XBOX. They were pretty friendly. I'm going to get it serviced for free.

generally it's two problems: Unseated sink, or overheating PS

Lift the power supply off the ground and reseat the sink Via squeezing the case near the top.

problems [temporarily] solved.
