    Screen flashes off and on every minute


    while gaming or watching tv the screen will suddenly go black and no sound for a second then back to whatever I was doing. Tried a hard reset, updated console. Machine is not hot with plenty of airflow. It does this almost every minute or two, very annoying.

    Green light flashes and psu stays on after turning X Box 360 off

    I was wondering why my x box green light flashes once about every 3 seconds and the psu stays on for at least a minute after turning my console off any suggestions?

    Flashing power light

    In the middle of playing games and DVDs, the Xbox suddenly goes to the home screen, says 'Opening' although nothing happens, and the power light flashes quickly. This happens after a few minutes possibly every time I turn the Xbox on.

    Have you checked your cables? (HDMI) etc.
