- Fri Feb 19, 2010 6:31 pm #176422 my roommate got this error on his 1.5 yr old elite last night after turning his 360 on after being off for 3 days. after looking all over the internet i finaly came across a post saying to overheat the 360 using tooth picks to stop the fans from turning until the 1st and third lights are on saying that the console has indeed over heated, then unplug it remove the tooth picks and plug it back in and boot it and it worked! his 360 is back to normal and it only took 10 min. i'll keep this updated to how long it keeps running for.

if it starts in the morning, you can drive it harder
