Anyone had this problem on the 360?

Recently my 360 has been freezing during PES6 and sometimes on the console splash screen showing funny patterns on the screen and basically freezing.

Pinkish lines are across the screen usually in a patchwork pattern. I've had no red lights on this machine, but could this be a signal of hardware failure?

Yes thats exactly what happened to mine.
I did not get any red lights it was just freezing and showing a checkerboard effect on the screen.
It was returned to microsoft and about ten days later i got a brand new one back.

Sounds like the GPU is going, probably lead to ring of death pretty soon

exactly what mine started doing a week ago,game would lock up with wierd lines on the screen and my pad would be rumberling.Now i just get 3 red lights when i switch it on,out of warranty by 2 months aswell.I might sell it on the bay as spares.
