Has anyone ever Dealt with the Wonderful 360 curse? The red Ring of Death??? Well right now I dont exactly have it, I have the precurser of it. That being, my sound plays and the game plays but you cant see any picture which means this:

What here happened is that the GPU (graphics proccessing unit) has overheated and melted the VGA card (Video game array) card.
And this takes away the video/picture.
But you can still hear sound because the SPU is much much smaller and has a tiny chance of overheating.

So now the vga can't connect with the the CPU (motherboard) and the AV section.

You have to get it fixed, because this has caused or will cause the Ring of Death.

So I called MS and they tell me it does not fall under the RROD warranty so I am currently Cooking my 360 with a towel wrapped around it to get it to heat up even more.

This is the description of the RROD: The game console heats up during use, and given enough time, the temperature inside can reach very high levels due to insufficient cooling. Because of the way the Xbox 360 is constructed, this may result in stresses building up between the delicate ball grid array solder joints of the CPU and GPU and the motherboard, causing them to break.

Well anyways I am soo soo sad right now :(

Yes I got the RRoD once before, but I had the actual RRoD. It happens randomly. I only play like 2 hours a week. But I still got it less than a year.
