The screen freezes and shows these lines. As you could see from my setup, its very well ventilated and I keep it clean. I bought the Elite when it launched. I haven't been playing anything lately, I've just been trying the recent demos and let my nephew play a game of Halo 3. So I guess these are signs of rrod aye. Anyway the first two pics are from the DMC4 demo and the second was the Frontline MP demo, but it also happens when I'm playing Halo 3, and another picture that shows how it looks from behind.

Does your xbox do it with every game or just that one? If it does it all the time then it could be a sign of it because that is what my xbox did before i got the rrod it would just freeze in the middle of any game i didnt get those weird lines though.

As you could see I keep it well ventilated and clean. I unplugged it and plugged it back again. It worked for awhile but then the freezing continues. That's the DMC4 demo, but it also happens when I pop in a game.

When that happens on a PC that means that the VRAM in the graphics card is overheating, so most likely RROD will happen. Sorry.

my friend had the same problem with the screen freezing and lines showing up on the picture. He got the red ring of death a week after that happened. If I were you I would order the box now. It really is better to do it now and get it over with.

Most likely, this is what happened to my friend's box, mine just went without even saying good bye! You should say your goodbyes while you still can...

It's not just the DMC4, I also tried other demos and it also happened when I pop in a game like Halo 3. The weird thing is that I could watch videos just fine. I have no idea.

Looks like it, darn it, lol. Oh well. I guess it couldn't take the heat, but if you look at my set up its very well ventilated and clean. Maybe its because its on glass? Lol, man! Oh well, gotta reserve the coffin.

To the origional poster, yes that is a sign of the red rings, Mine crapped out on me last week and did the exact same thing with Call of Duty 4. It will continue to lock up like that and when you restart you will eventually get it. Go ahead and order your shipping box from Microsoft its only a matter of time

Ok, i have some questions about RROD.

  1. If I get RROD, do they send me a new Xbox or do they repair the one i have?
  2. Does it cost anything?

It's free if you're still within the 3 year of the warranty. I believe sometimes they give new ones.

Graphical artifacts are normally either caused by the Video Card, or a corrupt file. If that appears on many different file types then I'ts prob the former. I had it before my first 360 busted, it wound't turn back on again. I also got it 2 weeks after my second one, though neither time was as bad as that. The second time however I immediately turned off the system and put bags of ice around it, and now I put a fresh bag of ice on it every time I turn it on. Been working fine since.
