When i was playing halo 3 online my t.v. screen turn to a green tint color and the graphic were greenish too but you could still see. So I turn it off when i turn it back on the screen was black with really small dot it lines running cross the screen, but i could still hear the sound on my T.V. I try everything like unpluging the A/V, and switching T.V.s but nothing work. The only thing i want to know what is the real problem. Is it when i play halo 3 that screw up my 360 or something else. Thanks

I have the same problem.

same problem while playing halo3, screen gets skewed with green and blue. then when I reboot I get no picture and no sound but the xbox works ( freinds can see I am online). thought it was the cable so I replaced it but get the same problem after playing for about 10 minutes. what is the towel trick?

While playing Smackdown Vs Raw it went black with sound. I tried the towel trick and I got the 360 to work for a day. Now every other day when i want to play I have to over heat the machine then restart it and it works for the next 24. I am putting mine in the shop and enjoy my problem free WII for a while.

Same except mine went to a blue screen and I couldn't see anything, and now my TV acts as though there is no input.

There is no problem with the TV, input, output or the game. There is something fundamentally wrong with the hardware. I also had this happen directly after the towel trick. There seems to be a direct correlation between the two.

This has happened to me also. I realized that i had put the wrong component cable in the wrong slot. Try moving them around and putting them in the right ports or just use HDMI.
