Color distoration, then the game froze and now video wont work
I recently aquired an xbox 360 but had it hooked up to a non HDTV. It worked just fine. I now recently hooked it up to an HDTV. I adjusted all the necessary HD setting for the xbo 360 to perform in HD. It work for about 10 non consecutive hours of game play before the color changed to an ugly yellowish orange. This would occur then dissapear. So i really didnt pay any attention to it. But then, i started playing COD4. The colors once again changed to the yellowish orange for about a minuete. The game then froze completly. I turned the xbox off and back on, but when i turned it back on, the vidoe didnt come up on the screen. I could hear the audio working but the screen was just black. So i unplugged all of the xbox AV inputs and plugged them into a different input coponent on the TV. That didnt work, so i know its not the TV. I also tried switching all the HD setting back to regular TV settings, but that didnt work either. Now all i get it a semi fuzzy screen. Im guessing that the problem lies at AV cord's connection to the xbox, or and electrical component inside the consol, but im hoping its not that complicated. PLEASE HELP!!
Re: color distoration, then the game froze and now video...
It could be as simple as the video cables. Get another set of cables and try it. You can get them pretty cheap on auction sites. IF that dont work then I would say your headed for the 3 red lights or no video problem. If thats the case then check with ms and see if your still under warranty. If not we can help.

You most likely need to install the updates to your system. These can be aquired from xbox live or from a disc. to get the disc, you can go to this website and download it... then burn the iso to a disc and run it in your xbox.
You can also download this and copy it to a thumb drive... plug the thumb drive into your xbox and run the update.
After your system is updated, you should be able to run any compatible xbox game.

alright. make sure that your red, green and blue are all plugged in properly and that your audio plugs are also in there correct plugs. i think audio is red and yellow. correct me if im mistaken
This could be a very simple problem. On the a/v cord jack, look on the part that gets plugged into the x-box. There is a switch that allows you to change from HD to standard format. I had this problem when I took my x-box to my brothers and he hooked it up to an HDTV. All you have to do is set the switch back to standard (or HD).
Go to system settings then display then change your output to like 1080i or 1080p and see if it works if it doesn't try different outputs because i can't think of them right now but their are two other different outputs adjust your t.v. accordingly and see if that fixes the problem if it doesn't try a different t.v. or take the cords back and get different ones.
I would suggest to try a different A/V cord to make sure that your original one is still good. If the Problem still exists then its a problem with the main board and it would need to be replaced.
Try hooking the xbox up to another tv to see if you get color. If you do it isn't your xbox. If you dont then it's your video cables going bad.
Hook a dvd player into the same spot you had the 360 in on your LCD see if you get color. If you dont then its your TV, if you do then it's your xbox video cables going bad.
