xbox shows no video but still has sound

when i was playing the nfs shift demo i noticed my car statred flasihing green so i decided to turn my xbox 360 on and then off and when i did the video was normal for 5 seconds then it got more green and i saw green bars in a cirlce patern around the xbox symbol in the middle on the dashboard and then i turned it off again and it wouldnt show video any more but theres still audio and no red rings its not my tv cause i tried watching tv and it worked i tried two diffrent hdmi cables and 2 difrrent component cable still no video

can you guys please help

sounds like it might be the video on the 360 itself, other than that i would've suggested that your tv's ports had burned but it doesn't seem likely that both your hdmi and component would burn at the same time for no specific reason, also if it was the tv you wouldn't get audio either, if i had to guess id say your problem is internal. I'd call 18004MYXBOX and ask them, if you're still under warranty they'll probably be able to fix it up asap for you, if you're not under warranty i'd suggest trying your standard A/V cables, if you're still getting no video, try it on a different tv (just to rule that out) and if it's still fudged, there's a whole bunch of places offering 360 repair now-a-days and it's usually not very expensive.

Only advice i can give as sometimes mine does similar things (colour goes all **** up someties screen goes black rare) All i do to fix it is the following.

Turn off and Unlplug everything from your xbox and DDisplay then plug em back in and restart it, thats usally al it takes, also if u have both component and vga or hdmi try switching between em see if that fixes it, hope this helped.

I had a very similar problem with the video, except when mine stopped working I didn't have any sound either, but like yours no red lights. I called microsoft and they told me that I could pay $100 plus shipping to have them fix it. I read online that it is a problemrelated to theRROD but its notcovered. I ended up ordering a kit off of ebay to fix the RROD problemand doing the repairs myself. It cost me like $7 with shipping. It had something to do with the GPU in my xbox, buthonestlyI'm not really sure what I fixed, but it has been working fine ever since then, and mine broke back in April.
