    so my xbox could be screwed

    turned it on this evening, started playing Bioshock 2

    after about a minute, the screen stops, with no sound. controller doesnt work, neither does the central button on the controller, the one for the menu.
    have to press in power to turn it off

    machine reboots no problem, but same thing happens again but this time screen looks all broken

    restarted again, this time put in fifa 10. goes to the main screen, loads a game, im making some changes and the screen goes again
    a pic of what it looks like is below

    P1020785.jpg

    both of these games are saved to the HD

    so started playing a demo instead, fifa world cup.
    gets a good bit through it, happens again
    looked at the front of it, only one of the 4 quadrant lights are on. if you are looking at it standing on its edge, its the top left.
    worked fine last night, havent even had any freezing issues up to this

    anyone any idea?

    That looks very like video card overheating to me, Ie burning out :( Does it happen on the my xbox screens aswell or just in game? If it happens on all screens I'd say its video card, just basing this on the fact that artifacts like that usually mean overheated video card on pcs

    Your Xbox will probably red ring soon. Mine started acting weird like that, and then a couple weeks later it finally red ringed. Thankfully the three year extended warranty still applied to mine. It would do weird stuff like that and then I wanted to watch a movie and put the disc in and it just powered off and red ringed. :(

    yep so it is now RROD

    when i log onto xbox.com it says my warranty has expired. I had it repaired around 2 years ago.

    do they not extend the warranty by 3 years after you get it repaired?

    Wouldn't have thought so, that would make it an unlimited warranty then
