Looks like the internal video card is going, one fix may be let it cool down an entire day, then purchase the xbox fan for back when you run it... xbox tends to overheat..... but if you recently bought it return it ASAP Good luck

okay so I did some testing, it only did that on my tv. I tried it on my grandmothers tv as well as my moms. So today I bought a new tv! an Insignia 1080P. the Picture is beautiful! works great.

dont use external fans! they just make it worse alot of the time, just like the macbook's fan, the xbox's fan is made to work with it, and if it isn't sufficient, then there is something wrong with the machine
