Since the xbox 360 was released in 2005 the video game console has been plagued with general hardware failure issues indicated by the three red lights flashing on the console.

You may have heard of or experienced this problem yourself. I am going to tell you about the main xbox 360 problems people have been experiencing and how you can solve them.

The most common problem is overheating. The console is designed to utilize heat sinks, vented openings, and fans to aid in dissipation of this heat. If the airflow to the vents become obstructed then this causes reduced system performance and hardware failure indicated by the three red lights . try placing the xbox 360 console in the open and free any debris that might be blocking the vents.

The nyko intercooler has also been reported to have caused a general hardware failure in a number of consoles, as well as scorching of the power AC input. microsoft stated that intercooler drains too much power from the console and can cause the faults to occur.

Another problem that is also heat related is the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). When the GPU becomes very hot it causes the motherboard to flex causing the soldering to become loose, because the lead free solder that is used is more brittle than the older tin/lead solder that was used in the past.

microsoft repaired consoles under the 90 day warranty for free, and charged $140 to repair out-of-warranty consoles. July, 2007 microsoft extended the warranty of all xbox 360 consoles suffering general hardware failures.

If you have experienced the xbox 360 three red lights, you could have it shipped to the repair center. Let me forewarn you that due to the increasing number of malfunctioning consoles, you may have to wait 4 weeks or more. If you area xbox 360 addict like me that is just too long to wait!

I have just explained the main reasons why the xbox 360 shows three red lights. I hope this information was of some use to you.

weight Watchers works on a points plan, where each type of food has corresponding points. Members are given a quota of points that they can consume for a particular period of time. If this system is followed, you will lose weight. Members also get support from a highly active online community. The weight loss is much slower than low carb diets, and may get frustrating in the long run. weight Watchers costs $29.95 to start out, with a $16.95 monthly membership fee, totaling to over $230 a year.

Dr. Arthur Agatson's South beach diet is more a diet for Dr. Agatson's heart patients than for people who want to lose weight. The diet allows the consumption of good carbohydrates such as whole grains, specified fruits and vegetables, and fat in the form of non-carb oils such as olive oil and canola oil. The diet also allows snacks and desserts. It basically prohibits the intake of processed food, bad fats and cholesterol.

While the South beach diet offers a profound and healthy weight loss plan, results still come a lot slower than with Kimkins. It is also more expensive; at $65 for twelve weeks, you'll be paying $260.00 a year for your weight loss.

nutri-System depends on their Glycemic Index which measures carbohydrates as either good or bad, and uses it to provide weight loss plans. In this manner, you will be given a diet that allows snacks and desserts. It is rather expensive, however, and inconvenient, as you'll have to order their food as part of being on their program. You'll be spending $321.00 a month, totaling to almost $4,000 a year. And there have been complaints that their food doesn't taste good, giving temptations to cheat.

Jenny Craig's Weight Loss program is the most celebrity-endorsed program, participated in by actresses such as Valerie Bertinelli and Kirstie Alley. Like Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig's diet is based on a high carb + low calorie plan, and, like nutri-System, sells her own food to be delivered to your house. Membership is $30 a month or $360 a year, and then you still have to buy her food.

Arguably the most popular and pioneering low carbohydrate diets, the atkins Diet has been around since Dr. Robert atkins formulated it in the 1970s. It champions the low carb, high protein diet, while allowing certain fats, claiming that only trans fats are to be avoided.

As Kimkins follows the basic pattern of the atkins diet, the two low carb programs are similar, except Kimkins does not allow a significant amount of fat into the diet, only enough to cook and season your food and make them taste good. According to Ford magazine, following the atkins plan is more expensive than Weight Watchers, but less expensive than Jenny Craig.

That's still a lot more expensive than Kimkins, with a one-payment only, lifetime membership fee of $59.95. And it's the fastest weight loss program of all previously mentioned.
