GTA 5: Red Ring of Death Issue

Get off of work and pick the game in. Opened the tray and put the install disc in to take care of that while I ate and this happened. The XBOX dashboard never came up.
3 flashing lights and the green power light is lit up. Do I need to go buy a new consol to play this thing tonight or is it fixable?

For whatever reason I unplugged and rep-plugged everything and it worked but my consol isn't acting healthy.

I have a feeling this game will YLOD my PS3. It HAS to be pushing this thing to its limit

This is totally unrelated but I did see this earlier today.

Rockstar has advised against installing the second ‘play’ disc for GTA V, with warnings that this could decrease the performance and create more texture pop-in problems than if it wasn’t installed.
As described in our GTA V FAQ the Xbox 360 version (and likely the PlayStation 3 version as well) requires a mandatory 7.7GB install. This is handled automatically by the game and after it’s finished you don’t need the first ‘install’ disc any more.
However, as with all Xbox 360 games you do have the option of installing all the discs, whether the game wants you to or not. This is what Rockstar suggests you don’t do.
They won’t say why exactly but Digital Foundry suggests that it ‘impacts the game’s ability to stream texture data, resulting in regular pop-in of in-game objects and textures.’
As noted in our GTA V review the game already has a small problem with pop-in – background objects appearing out of thin air relatively close to you, or low res textures being displayed until the last minute. However, it’s a minor issue and there are many other big name games that are much worse

I would think it's because of the hardware. though...

3 flashing lights means your media cable isnt plugged in correctly.

Got mine about a month after they came out, if that long. It's been a good one.

I'm still using an old Xbox Elite

Just saw this on IGN. There may be a way around not installing the play disc to your hard drive.

Yeah, I can confirm that installing it to a USB drive works
Posted on 9/18/13 at 10:16 am to sbr2
I may be doing that as well. Glad to hear it works.

I don't suppose you can install both disks to the flash drive, huh? I picked up GTA yesterday after work, put it in, and then found out about installing the game. My xbox has 4GB...
I'm pissed. I picked up a flash drive, but I guess it's time for a new hard drive just to play this damn game.
