Over the past couple days the old xbox keeps shutting down while im playing.
It shuts down and I get two red lights.

Then after restarting I get the message saying it shut itself down to prevent damage from overheating.

I'm pretty sure its not the actual Xbox overheating but the power supply. After it shuts down the Xbox is relatively cool while the brick is very hot to the touch.

SO my question to TTG is,any PRO tips for keeping the system cooler, to prevent things from going haywire?

My setup you would think has enough air flow

Really nothing? Buying a new console is the last thing I want to do.

do not have the xbox on it side when it is on carpet because the air intake is at the bottom and the carpet is blocking air from geting in so i recomene laying it down and it should be good
