Ok, you depends on your error. There isn't like a universal red lights of death. There's ones that pertain to other things then overheating. If it happens to be the one pertaining to heating (I will look up what lights light up) you can fix it yourself sometimes if it hasn't be continually played after the red lights of death. You can do things such as switching out the stock fan or a Talismoon fan (several places sell them such as divineo.com), or changing the thermal compound on the cpu and gpu. You can even put like cardboard (flammable, lol not really suggested) or some other flat object around the sides and top of the gpu heatsinks to redirect airflow. Those are some solutions. Or even changing the X clamps (The clamps on the bottom of the mobo that hold the heatsinks on), or if all else fails you can do that towel trick thing. But those are at home solutions, and do void your warranty. So if you still have the warranty you can send it in to Microsoft.
Ah, if sections 1 and 3 are flashing red then that means its overheating. But there's others like if all 4 sections are flashing then that means no A/V can be detected. But if sections 1,3,4 are flashing then that means general hardware failure (can be overheating too).
It's not the religion that causes wars, it's the men who use religion as a means to control people that do.
