Help Needed

I believe mine was DOA when I got it on Christmas. It makes Half Life 2 crash.

We went over to one of Emily's relatives' houses for a Christmas gift exchange thing and their kid had a 360. He'd been having a problem where after about 10 minutes of gameplay, a halftone dot pattern would appear on most of the textures and the sky in COD4. Later that night he got red ring'd.

So maybe all the graphical fuckups (not the ones related to particle effects) are due to the mainboard heating up?

That's a good point, Chojin. I never though of that. I assumed it was because I got it used..... I'll check it out.

No other game does this for me. But yeah, that does make loads of sense. I'm shipping off my 360 anyway, it's refusing to read any discs anymore without making horrible scratching noises.

Ok then:
1:Updated Drivers
2:Messed with some video settings
3:Cleaned The TF2 Folder deleting things like skins that did not work.
4:Re-installation

Edit: I did not get the rings around the telleporter but I still have trails following me so good enough.
Also, sometimes i do a re-installation if it quits working.
