This behavior occurs when the internal temperature of the console exceeds the acceptable limits. You may think of this as too hot, overheating, and so on.

If the three red lights you speak of is the Red Ring of Death (and I'm pretty sure it is), call Microsoft. if not, um, pray?

I thought 2 lights were from overheating of the internal drive.
