It's official it's the Power Supply (a.k.a. The Brick) that has gone bad (luckly not the 360) and can be fixed for 100 US American Dolla.

You might want to do a little research I had a cooler on mine and I got the red ring of death. I've also heard that the newer xboxs are better built and that coolers can actually rob the power from the xbox.
Are you telling me that an intercooler may affect my xbox more than don´t using it??

Cause my GF just bought me the NYKO Intercooler last friday.

I have been hearing from a few people that the Intercooler are very bad. Since they run off of a USB connection to your 360 it actually causes it to overheat faster since it's drawing more power…

Yeppers. That was indeed what I was reffering to. The persons that told me this worked for Best Buy and Gamestop respectively

I found a link that prevents the intercooler from melting or damaging your xbox. I think I might do this When the ghostbusters game is release because my system will not be turned off at all. :p

I read about that melting problem, and that´s why NYKO released the EX version, that won´t melt, cause it´s made of better materials.
