My xbox 360 is having graphical issues...

I'm getting a screwed up picture. I only get it during gameplay, videos are clear. I think the graphics card in the system is beggining to fail. Not sure Microsoft covers this or I just have to wait for it to fail and RRoD.
Any thoughts?

Wrapped it in a towel... and it fixed the graphical glitches... not sure if thats a long term fix or I'm on the road to RRoD.
I got Arkham Asylum to play dammit!

Very odd... I haven't heard of any real issues with the hardware outside of RROD, but maybe you're right that it is that especially since the towel trick worked.
I vaguely remember having some glitch problems right before mine RRODed... it would crash too though.

Yea... someone on another forum told me to wrap it in a towel to make it RRoD otherwise Microsoft would not fix it if I shipped it in. Didn't expect it to fix the system
I've never had my 360 lock up... but I install most my games.... not sure if that makes a difference or not.
