How can i fix the “keep the console cool”

Hello, Bryan K. I'm Arturo, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

Based on the information you provided, it's likely to be a hardware issue if you see this overheating message every time you try to play.

Not only that, but in situations like these, it would be better to get your console inspected.

If you still have a warranty on your Xbox, you may want to open a repair request with Microsoft:

You could try doing a factory reset on your Xbox, but that option may not work.
However, if you want to cover this possibility, you can perform it by opening Settings > system > console info > reset.

I know this is not the kind of answer you were expecting, but your understanding is appreciated.

Kind regards,

Arturo.

Hello Ethan,

two reasons are for having 2 red rings.

1-Over heating is the main problem. If the system is on run for much longer time, then there is a chance to get over heated as the cooling ventilation system fail to function effectively. It can be attributed to the failure of cooling systems like the cooling
fan and vents. It can be cooled off by switching off the system for two hours.

2-Lack of voltage can lead to 2 red light error. See whether the plugs are properly inserted to an outlet specially designed for Xbox console and check whether it is not shared by any other electrical equipment.

Also there are guides on the internet on how to fix your problem but it requires unscrewing the console.

It is not recommended if you are not sure on what to do.

So keeping your console well ventilated and having some breaks while playing games in order for the console to cool down are mainly the solutions

I hope they've learned how to keep it running cool.

Okay cool... At least EVERYONE is having this problem. I thought my 360 S hard drive was toast (even though I keep my console well ventilated and all of that kind of stuff...). As long as a fix is in the works, that's good.
