I just started today. I was playin Gears of war and i noticed it when i was playin and now its doing it on every game. it doesnt do it on the Dashboard. Ill get some pictures if you guys dont know what im talking about. also Gears menu is like you cant see the background.

is it too hot or just the Xbox doing something wrong?

its one of two things, early signs of RROD or, try this method first...

8. Reset your Xbox 360 video settings

Remember this one if you're in the habit of carrying your console to chum's houses and hooking it up to different displays. It can end up trying to output the wrong signal, so you can't see anything or get a flickering screen. Fortunately, there's a fairly simple fix if this happens. Remove any discs from the tray and turn the thing off. Then turn it on using a gamepad. As it boots, hold down the Y button, then hit and hold the right trigger. The video settings will reset to default, and you'll stop your sobbing.
