Red ring refers to a circular red marking, often indicating a problem or warning.
The term gained widespread use from the Xbox 360's "red ring of death"—a ring of red lights around the power button signaling hardware failure: My Xbox just red ringed.
Red rings also appear in medical contexts, where a red ring around a bite or wound may indicate infection.
