What's happening to my Xbox 360?

Certain games appear to bring out certain glitches in the 360. For instance, occasionally my xbox will fail to realize that I put a disk in it. It happens about once a month (I think my xbox is PMSing), and I have to re-insert the disk four times for it to work. It happens no matter what game I play, but not that often. However, MW2 seems to make it do this 1/4th of the time I put it in.
Tried the tv with other hdmi input devices like a ps3 or an external hard drive recorder?NotAPie said:
I already made up my mind, ask Microsoft if they can fix it and get a straight answer, if not I'll buy a new one.D Bones said:Yep, this is the precursor to the E74 error.Island said:
It's done for.
And the craigslist recommendation, I did that and it didn't end up too good. It was fixed for 50 bucks and worked for about another week. Then I ended up buying a new XBox Arcade for $199 and putting my old hard drive on it. And I sold the other one on Craigslist for 50 bucks.
P.S. I'll buy Alan Wake from you if you can't play it anymore
HA! D:< You wish buddy!
My only recommendation, as my friend did this and we're pretty sure it saved his 360, is leave it off for a day or two, let the machine cool down. His didn't get as bad as yours appears to be, so I have no idea if it will work, or if that is really what fixed his, but at this point it seems you have nothing to lose.NotAPie said:
Well maybe if you would've just gotten your ass to the fuckin' lighthouse this wouldn't have happened!
OT: Your xbox is insured for 3 years specifically for the red ring of death. Anything else is 90 days.

Anyways. I don't know how to help but it is odd that the text is so clear and other stuff is so blurry. I would contact MS for this thingy.
That is exactly what my xbox did after I played through MW2. Then the next time I started it up it gave me the E-71 error or what ever number it is and then RRODd on me.NotAPie said:A day ago I was playing Alan Wake (Great game I might add) anyway I played it nonstop since I got it, now for some reason while I was playing it my screen started doing this:
At first I thought it was the game, but later on in the day when I tried to play Left 4 Dead 2 it did the same thing. I thought it was the wire but my HDMI wire worked fine with my brothers xbox so did my standard definition wire.
I thought it was my tv but this thing is new and once again didn't do the same thing with my brothers xbox.
So I know it's the Xbox, but what is the problem? I've had people tell me it's my graphics card and others tell me it is my video card.
Another question, will Microsoft fix this? I'm out of warranty but I heard warranty only applies to the RROD and that other popular error.
Any help would be great.
Edit: Another important detail, it does this faster on Alan Wake, and most of the time the screen will start looking like that when I'm in gameplay in all of my games.
in case you ever get another box though, get a cheap ass quiet ventilator at one of those a earo/dollar stores, and just keep it pointed at the back of your box XD, when you play fire the fucker up
saved me and my mate after his third RROD, gears one was quite a bleeder in causing it XD
( also, he believed we were just kicking to much ass. XD )
