After about an hour my tv screen will go black and the green light will flash red 4 or 5 times and then it will stay red and the tv is totally off. Then after 5 minutes I will be able to turn the tv back on. This cycle will repeat itself over and over.
Symptom shows its time to replace Lamp.
How old is this TV?

As technology
evolves, Sony continually looks to stand behind the reliability of its
televisions. It has come to our attention that a very limited number of
televisions manufactured between 2003-2005, after a period of time
exhibit a stationary scribble / random line pattern on the screen.

repair at no charge through September 30, 2007. All other terms of the
Sony limited warranty continue to apply.

Is very likely that the lamp will need to be replace soon.
Is some cases those spots might be generated in the inner part of the lamp.

3 blinks is a lamp cover error, did you make sure that the lamp cover is screwed in tight? Also check the lamp cover for deformity, there is a problem with your model where the set over heats and melts the lamp cover a little causing it not to make connection with the lamp cover switch. Let me know if you find either of these problems? If not we can troubleshoot a little further.
