CAUSE
This is by design. You really should step away from the console and get out more.
RESOLUTION
Have you tried turning it off and back on again?
Consult the actual Microsoft Knowledge Base article for this topic. The bit you're looking for starts off "Submit a console repair request." Good luck with that. Pop quiz: what were you doing three years ago? If the answer isn't, "Playing Gears of War on my Xbox," you're probably covered under the extended RRoD warranty. Make sure you call it that. They like it when you call it that.
WORKAROUND
There's an Instructable for that.
APPLIES TO:
- Microsoft Xbox 360 Video Game System
- Microsoft Xbox 360 Hard Drive (20 GB)
- Microsoft Xbox
