Is my 360 on the way out?

No red lights at all but four times in the last two days the console has frozen up with white vertical lines on the screen, making a buzzing noise. It won't respond to any controls but works again when I reset it. Only seems to happen when loaded/playing something, never happened in the dashboard.

To the best of my knowledge artifacts on the screen generally means the GPU is on the way out. Not sure about the freezing, is it out of warranty?

Yeah, more than three years old. To be honest, I'm surprised it's lasted this long. Still, gives me an excuse to get the new model on Friday.

Well from the models built from summer last year onwards, are meant to be considerably better, the Jasper models have a cooler running GPU and CPU, I'm picking up the new model on Friday myself, mainly for a larger hard disk and quieter DVD drive. More license transfering, :rolleyes:.
