| XboX Graphics Fucked.
So, Ive turned my XboX on for the first time in a few weeks..
Things start off fairly well, then after about 1 or so minutes, the graphics go all strange and the screen become unwatchable.
I've switched the cables around, so it does appear to be a problem with the box..
..I assume that it's tea's oot?

Is it different games or the same game?

Sounds like its about to red ring. (N)
Try unplugging all of the controllers/hard drive. Then switch it on to see if it still fucks up. If it does it'll most likely have to be sent off.
Or clear yer cache.
Pretty much all I can think of.

No red rings...yet.
This is a fuckin' nightmare.
I just bought the new Pro Ev to come home and play, now the XboX isn't working.

Or 250GB, two wireless controllers and a copy of Forza 3 if you get the Super Elite that gets launched tomorrow. More cash though.

I spoke to Gforce.
They're going to do my a brand new one for £110 + My broken XboX.
Do they still do that shitey XboX with no hard drive?
I want to avoid that one.

Yeah they still do the Arcade xbox 360.....keep your hard drive tho, attach it to the new xbox and all will be well again...you wont lose any game saves or downloaded games and stuff.
Xbox 360s ALWAYS seem to die when ya get a great new game to play for some reason. | |

If you can afford it then just buy a new one and see if you can send the one you have to Microsoft, and get that fixed. Then ebay it, keep it or whatever.
No doubt gforce would be sending it to microsoft to get it fixed, for fuck all. https://service.xbox.com/?scrx=1 | |
