They also turn red if the optical cable is unplugged. No idea what actually caused the red rings, i.e. why the system overheated so often.

I had that, plugged my 360 in but one of the wires was not in properly, it started flashing red, I panicked, people died.

hahaha yeah it got me worried the first time too! Its a fun trick to play on your friends.
