    Yeah this should be in the 360 forum.
    I had a box like yours and fixed it with the x-clamp replacement.
    Give it a try.

    Did you not read what I wrote?
    I had a box like yours without video but sound.
    I tried the x-clamp fix because I read that it might fix it and it did.
    So maybe you should try it too?

    You could but if you're in the uk you guys should have all the metric stuff you need at the hardware store right?
    M8 x 12mm pan head screws and m8 steel/nylon washers and some artic silver 5 thermal paste.
    If not then you can go the ebay route which might be cheaper if you're only doing your system and not tons of them.

    No the x-clamps are what you remove and toss away.
    You use the screws and washers to reattach the heatsinks to the mobo.

    adamshrek - you know full well that this isn't the correct forum for 360 questions.
