How old IS your 360 fox? Microsoft extended their warranty concerning Red Rings O'Death. Three rings means "General Hardware Failure". Even IF anybody on here knew one of the fixes, they would have to know what failed.

I believe there is a way to cause your Xbox to display a more detailed Error message(Much like your car for those of you with a pre-mid 90s car).

This is what I stumbled across in my first go.

If this method does in fact work, make sure you run the test multiple times to be sure you are not missing anything.

So,
1:Call Microsoft, talk to a human, not Microsoft Sam.
2: Try the Diagnosis mode.
3: Post the results here.
4: Clean that sucker out!

I don't want any more pets any time soon, CEMP. Sorry, otherwise I would try. :X
That's fine, Fat. I doubt we'd be getting rid of the dog anyway.

I'm actually feeling better now that I've went to the vet with my dad. The vet actually gaves us some nice pointers about what to do with the dog; cheifly speaking, the barking habit. I'm also getting a break from him since he's been left over at the vet to be noodered. Hopefully, everything will eventually calm down.

On a side note, there was this adorable cat in a cage that i played with. Seriously, I was having a blast in letting him attack my coat sleave (Which barely did any damage at all).

I just _____ in the _____.

This is why we don't have a new dog since ours died about five (six? seven?) years back.

Cats are way better because:

Even if they are noisy, they aren't all the time.

Their poop is smaller, and they prefer to go in one or two places. Although they're likely to poop somewhere they shouldn't, they'll keep doing it in the same place so you can catch them in the act and fix it easier.

If they don't like you, they'll avoid you.

You make them upset and they'll hide and be pissed rather than mope around your feet.

They're all of roughly uniform size.

They eat less.

They won't slobber all over you.

A cat won't kill all your farm livestock. Some have been known to kill a chicken or two though, but none I've ever owned. One even follows me into the coop every day when I'm gathering eggs.

Tuxedo cats are cute.

I can't think of other stuff right now, but that should be enough.

I'm allergic to cats.

'Nuff said.

Funny thing was, I am supposed to be allergic to cats; was quite a bit when i was young. However, at the vet, I played constantly with this cat there, and i experienced no reaction at all.

In fact, previous contact with other felines in my past late-teen years caused no symptoms whatsoever. Either I haven't been exposed to them enough, or I' just grown out of it.

In any case, I more of a cat lover than a dog one.

Roffel House!

I'm currently embroiled in a politically charged war against feral cats and irresponsible cat ownership as President of the Oconee Rivers Audubon Society, so no, I really don't like cats right now.

Cemp, I winced when you told me that your Mom decided to get a poodle mix. Poodles aren't the best pets to the best of my knowledge, and what you're describing is basically what I've heard about them. If your Mom really wants another dog, getting something less annoying like an older labrador or german shephard or even a nice, older mutt would be better. Sometimes senior dogs make the best pets, and they're always ignored at the shelters.

Some of the people that we've met at the vet told us poodles are actually quite intelligence. Me and my dad are finding this hard to believe, or that he's just an exception.

Also, for the record, my mom thought the poodle was going to be put to sleep on Tuesday. Turns out that my dad found out that this wasn't true at all. Whoops!

Poodles are some of the most intelligent dogs, CEMP. They're just commonly afflicted with ADHD.

XD Did i also mention, because of the operation he had (Noodered) that he's taking "Happy" pills.

The house is more quiet with a stoned dog XD

Good, that should calm him down quite a bit, even when the meds wear off. He'll still probably be active and playful, but not quite as noisy and uncontrollable without testosterone in the mix.
