Yep sounds like the GPU is either rooted or overheating. Off to M$ your 360 will go....

Unless if youve opened it up and voided your warrenty, you should just remove the foil from the GPU heatsink and put some Arctic Silver 5 on there.

Yeah mine has just started to do the same thing, it's fine until the game finishes loading then I get the exact same thing. Mine's going back to MS on Mon/Tue. Then I'll be on my third 360, great!

Yeah it sucks, mine's a launch machine mate so have had it for 6 months with no probs. I think it's something to do with the overheating which has damaged the GPU. But I haven't got any red rings on it. Anyway in the UK our warranty is 12 mths so it's going back hopefully tomorrow. They said they'll try and reset my warranty (to 12 more mths) when I get my replacement since this is the second time I've had it replaced (first one didn't work straight out of the box).

Fair enough. although I'd try your luck with MS first to ensure they won't repair it for free. Just get mad down the phone, you'd be surprised where it'll get you.

I not have warranty and I am some 3000 miles away from it

Mine made the same graphical errors, Hopefully yours is savable but this is what mine did before it died. It started freezing like that and the time it took it to freeze just got shorter with every power on until it just gave me the ring of death. Honestly I would call MS, they might fix it for free even past the warranty.

Quite a few people. Those with memory overheating, obviously cooling the GPU only helps marginally. Here is a thread with the answers you were looking for...in the same forums just a few topics up. Not that hard to find. http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=522438

Mine does the same thing. I've been looking for the fan speed controller as well. I did find 2 different spots on the board that cause the fans to speed up if you place your finger on either one of them for a few seconds while the system is on. One spot is in front of the GPU fan. ::: If you hold your finger on that one spot long enough the fans will speed up very quickly and then 2 red lights will flash and the system will shut down. The fans will still be running for a second or two and continue flashing the 2 red lights. Once the fans stop on their own you can then hit the power button to turn off the flashing lights. The other spot on the board is down in front of Memory Slot A right next to the little yellow ring with the wire wrapped around it. The spot to place your finger on is right underneath that on the bottomside of the board. It is just a little spot though. That spot will speed the fans up but will not cause any flashing lights or anything. Also I noticed that for me if I turn the 360 on from a cold start and it will not boot and just flashes 3 red lights. If I leave it on and flashing for about 20 to 45 minutes then restart it. It will sometimes boot but it will crash shortly afterwards. Weird.
