Try the classic 'towel trick,' where you wrap your Xbox 360 in towels and let it heat up. It's a temporary fix but might get you through a game night! (Disclaimer: Do this at your own risk!)

If your Xbox 360 has the dreaded Red Ring of Death (RRoD), start by checking all cables and ensuring proper ventilation. If that doesn't work, you might need to open it up and reapply thermal paste to the CPU/GPU. Good luck!
