What is the cause of Xbox 360 3 red lights? Why is my Xbox 360 constantly freezing?

As mentioned above, the cause is heat. As the motherboard heats up, it begins to vibrate. These vibrations cause a loosening of the GPU (graphics processing unit). Once the GPU comes loose enough, your game freezes and you have the infamous Xbox 360 3 red lights.

You can see now, that any "fix" involving heat will only make the problem worse. To actually fix your Xbox 360 3 red lights, you will need to take your system apart, and put a spacer between the motherboard and the heat sink (the cooler). This spacer could be a washer, and it will allow the motherboard to "breathe" when it heats up.

So how do I fix my Xbox 360 red lights once and for all?

The whole issue is stopping the GPU from coming loose. This is not a complicated process but you will need to take your system apart and put the washer in between the motherboard and heat sink carefully.
