Honestly, you're probably better off just getting a new Xbox. The 360 is ancient at this point.

You can try resetting the power supply. Unplug the power brick from both ends, wait about 10 seconds, then plug it back in. Also, make sure the power brick light is green or orange. If it's red, the power brick itself might be fried.

The Red Ring of Death (RROD) usually means your Xbox 360 is overheating. First, try unplugging it completely for a few minutes, then reconnect it. Make sure it's in a well-ventilated place and that the vents are not blocked. If that doesn't work, you might need to contact Microsoft support for repairs.

I faced the same issue once! Fixed it by opening the console (warranty was already expired) and reapplying thermal paste to the GPU. Not for the faint of heart, but worked like a charm!
