Could just be hot, if it's only 2.. Do this.

1.) Unplug it for a few minutes
2.) Plug it back in
3.) Do the same for your HDMI or AV

DONE! Should work, i have that issue a lot! (:

I don't think two red lights means it's overheating. But, you should turn it up anyways to prevent that. It's better when it's standing up.

Standing it up won't do anything. It should be fine now.. If it's only 2 their is nothing to worry about, it's all good!

I think this is Overheating issues, You can get external plug-in fans to help this fact.
You could try downloading the game to your hard-drive so the Xbox doesn't work so hard.
If not , Google it. Hope this helped.

If it does it again see what error code it gives you that will help but most likely overheating issue.

What you can do is keep it laying on it's side and put either water bottle caps or soda bottle caps under the rubber things on the xbox's casing and have the caps faced as if they were on the bottle still and that will give it better airflow.

All you need to do is open up your xbox, take the fans out and clean them then clear out any blockage, also remove the dust off the heat sink and the rest of the console don't be too abrasive. Dust will cause the console to heat up more, it's the same principal as putting a blanket over yourself.
