360 Graphics Glitch/Crash

Hi All,

Last night tried to play GRAW2 - As soon as I entered the game it crashed. Graphics glitches on the screen. Had to power down & back up.

Crashed again. Then again. All times hard locking. Then crashed on the dash board twice.

Tried another game worked fine gave it 5 minutes - put GRAW2 back in and was fine for the rest of the evening.

My Xbox is a release day version and hasn't been a problem. No vents are blocked etc. I even disconnected my HD-DVD and Vision Cam just in case.

Am I just on borrowed time before it knackers or am I just unlucky

I had that start happening out of the blue last week, one day it happend just the once, the next day loads, then I had one day without any crashing so I thought it was sorted. The next day the crashing came back and got even worse, crashing a second or two after starting up, I had to swap mine in the end. I had a crash, nasty sound and blocks all over the screen; some games would make it crash faster than others...

Be sure it's connected directly to the wall, if the problem occurs further, M$ might still be able to help although I've never had to deal with them myself.
