360 Failed?

Hey guys, turned on my 360 about 10-20 minutes ago, to discover that the screen was flickering (this is when It boots up and is on the dashboard). I have checked all the cables and they are secure, it is well ventilated. I just need to be sure before I box it up and send it off for repair. It was fine this morning, when I was playing FIFA.

Dont want to put a downer on it but this is what happened to mine about a month before it failed. Would always crash after 5 mins of gameplay. Hope you dont suffer the same fate but just giving you a heads up.

Cheers, tbh im not worrying as i took a 2 year extended service contract out. Funnily enough was just on the phone around the same time that it happened and they suggested that it might be the AV cable. Somehow I doubt it, but I will keep my eye on it.
