This is because the scaler chip on the back of the Xbox 360 motherboard is overheating, it deals with all the display.

You can actually fix it yourself by stopping the heat build up or you can send it in to Microsoft

1) make sure the video cable is firmly inserted into the back of your xbox 360. Sometimes a loose connection will produce this result.

2) Check the end to your television set and make sure it is in correctly. Is this HDMI ??

3) Cycle the inputs on your tv until it gets back to your xbox 360 and see if the picture appears.

4) If you have this hooked up via HDMI, connect it through another method and go into the video settings in your xbox 360 dashboard and set them to auto detect.

Let me know if this helps.

call microsft. im sick of people asking about there 360 or ps3 shutting down not working dvd player not working..well what can we do here. nothing we dont have the ability to fix problems that have no solution. Call the person who made ur Xbox 360 microsoft ps3 sony and ask them cause we have no way of helping on these dumb subjects

your graphics processor IC chip needs its solder joints reflowing, and the heatsink re securing.

This will solve the problem.

do you get sound but no picture it is the red ring of death

You might want to try the following:

1. make sure that the AV cable is not loose or incorrectly seated in both the Xbox 360 console and the TV
2. make sure that you have the correct AV cable for your TV, to verify that the AV cable is connected correctly to the Xbox 360 console and to the TV, disconnect the AV cable and then reconnect the AV cable to both devices
3. if you are using composite cables, do not try to set any HDTV settings because you may lose the picture
4. make sure that your TV is set to the same video broadcast system as your Xbox 360 console (PAL or NTSC)
Example:
- if your Xbox 360 console is an NTSC console, make sure that your TV supports NTSC
- if your Xbox 360 console is a PAL console, set your PAL settings to PAL 60
- if your TV has a type of picture compensation enabled, disable it
5. reset your Xbox 360 console
- Remove any discs from the disc tray
- Turn off the console
- Turn on the console
- As the console starts, press and hold the Y button, and then pull the right trigger at the same time
- The Xbox Dashboard resets the display settings to the default settings and then automatically restarts the console.
6. Do not take your Xbox 360 console or its accessories to your retailer for repair or for service unless an Xbox Customer Support representative asks you to do this

put 3 bath towels around it let it over heat then let it cool down for 30min plug back in should work like new

check the video cable that connects to the T.V to see if it is damaged, if it is get a new one.

Does it happen with every game or just some of them? Could be a issue with the graphics card in the XBox 360.
