My Xbox blew up :(

I got back on tonight excited and :(

it blew up

taking it in to a shop here locally.

It burned out on me mid match against someone named "I poke your mom"

if anyone knows him let him know i didnt pull ( i challenged him cause he had a good record and then that happens). When it boots up now it rarely can boot up whole way and if it does it starts crackling and making a static sound then freezes and checkerboard distored boxes appear. Anyone heard of this?

:( sad pig

i'll get it fixed

Are there any red lights?

I'll add you to xbox live but can only play on some weekends. Hope you get it fixed. Also is it a slim model?

Your GPU in your 360 is artifcating, try letting it cool off for a few hours, if it still continues to do this then it's near death. The 360 shut itself down since the system overheated.

For some reason I imagined you turning on your X Box and then it literally exploded into pieces sending plastic shrapnel all over the place...

But yeah man that sucks.

Sucks dude. As others have said, may have over heated. How old is it? Even if the guys replaces the video board, your real problem maybe be an old fan. The ball bearings break down (I'd be suprised if xbox had decent fans) and don't move air as much so it gets hotter inside. Maybe want to replace the fans, get an air can and blow out any dust that might have built up inside, stuff like that.

Or you could just blow it up for real, would love to see that. :)
