...only 1 not flashing? I don't know how long i have had my x-box but one day when i was playing it it just shut off and started flashing red on 3 of the line in the ring!! If I let it sit for a while i can play for maybe 45min to an hour or so before it shuts off on my again. I recently tried to just unplug it and let it sit but when i went to turn it on it wouldn't even come on it just showed those same 3 lines of the ring in red. PLEASE HELP ME!!
 
Red ring of death. It sounds like it's overheating. If it's under warranty, definitely send it in. I think the 3 flashing lights means you have the 3 year warranty.

If it's not under warranty, then there are home remedies that work. My sister actually successfully fixed our Xbox 360 with one! But that is another question.
 
Yup, you have the infamous red ring of death. You basically have to send it in to microsoft to have them fix it. This most commonly happens right around the time you get reallly excited for a new game lol. There are some home remedies, like wrappingg the console in a towel and turning it on. The theory is that the heat will reset a switch in the console or something.
