RROD? False Alarm?

YAY Long story time!!!

Hmmm, curious thing happened to me a couple of days ago, i had a friend over and we had been playing a lot of 360 when all of the sudden my 360 (its a Halo edition, if you didnt catch that little button down there in my sig, so its got the Falcon Chips) just stopped, I looked at it and noticed what seemed to be the RROD, and yes it was the RROD not some other error, the 2nd player light was the only one not lit.

So I flipped and turned it off, then I turned it back on and crossed my fingers...... and it ran fine! I was relieved and so far nothing has hapened to cause any alarm.

So i was wondering if it was starting to die, which would be odd as its a little over a year old (Halo edition remember?) so it shouldnt be dieing........

Anyways, a few minutes later I start it up and begin playing Far Cry 2 and my controller, a wired one, is messing up! The right joy stick seems to be having some sensitivity screw ups because my characters aiming is wonky and its not moving too fast, then it speeds up again, then it slows down. So i switch to my Wireless controller and it works fine! Of course the RROD thing is still on my mind so im thinking "if its a general hardware error, could a defective wired controller cause it?"

So what do you guys think? Can a controller cause a general Hardware error? Im thinking maybe, because its wired, it sends signals straight through the USB port, so maybe if the 360 started getting some really wierd signals it could think the USB port is failed or something and so cause a general Hardware failure.

Or should i await the failing of my precious Halo 360? (actually not a problem, i think the green color is a bit pukish personally, id prefer white)

As i said above im fairly sure it was the RROD (indicated by red lights in the 1st 3rd and 4th positions, right?)

although, MAYBE, and im probly just bein hopeful, it might just have been the 1st and 3rd with just some glow making me think it was also the 4th.

Its not like i really stared at it and thought "gee, i should sit and study it a bit, hey maybe ill just leave it flashing and check out some internet articles on RROD"

no i was more like "OH SH!7 TURN IT OFFF TURN IT OFF!!!!!! RESET THAT SH!7!!!! NOOOOO, WORK D*** YOU WORK!!!!!! DONT DIE ON ME NOW!!!!" and then

"OHMY GOD IS IT GONNA WORK!!!! oh ok it works, lets just leave it to cool down and play some PC games instead for now."

Bump?

any more insight?

hmm, maybe it is just a false alarm, maybe not, how long is MS warranty?

because i bought my xbox in september(durh, its the halo edition) so its only been a little more than a year
