im not getting this.. my xbox systems get PLENTY of breathing space, i baby them, never move them, always keep dust free etc, and i constantly have issues.. this one had 12volt fan mod etc and was a 360 elite and now i ran into a problem i never encountered.

my color started to go wild i shut it off and now its shot. it turns on and runs fine but no color or no picture. i tested the hdmi wire with another system and it worked fine, tested power supply etc all works great the xbox is just shot i guess.. well i guess ill just go to walmart tonight buy a new elite and NOT MOD IT AT ALL so i can sue the hell out of my warranty.

what mods did you do to it?

if theres a still warranty sticker just send in to xbox.

Walmart has a deal online starting tomorrow in the store (here at least) new arcade $200 you get a $100 gift card

here is the issue with your xbox and my advise.

I'ts an early E74 issue, this is caused by the thermal paste failing and your GPU giving out. Your best solution is to do a warranty claim for E74.

Yeah I had it a bit mixed up. You are correct!

The fan mod, is it below or at the back of the 360, make sure the fan mod is below to increase air flow, some people have found that the fan at the back can reduce the airflow, also i recommended giving you xbox check every month, just to see if it has any dust clogged
