Games freeze and the screen goes fuzzy after ten minutes

The system will work for only five or ten minutes the the screen goes fuzzy. i thought it may be over heating so i moved it to an open space but it did not change. a friend said it may be the processor.

If your system is under warranty, I would try and get it RMA'd. If not there are plenty of services out there that offer xbox 360 repair for 50-70 dollars. I have used this one before when my system got the red ring of death.

Fast turn around and my xbox360 has been working like a champ for over a year now.

System shows a fuzzy green screen on startup for ten seconds, then goes blank. red light is on for the duration. This happens regardless of if a cartrige is in or not

Well the green screen has to do with the power supply wire inside of the console that shows the power on the screen is wearing out and needs to be replaeced.

I put in an older game into console (Civilization Revolution)that hadn't been played in awhile. I just recently signed up for Xbox Live and this game had not been loaded since then. A window came up and...

Sounds like the update did not install properly. You will have to go back and try to run it again.
xboxscene forums has the answer, unfortunately I can't open the page right now. look up "bad update freezing" or "system freezing after update".

Sorry I don't have the link.

Won't work

That's a fairly good sign of a system over heating. Will the system sit in dashboard for a long time but go out during a game? If so you should see about setting up a cooling system(but avoid the intercoolers at all cost, they break more systems than they help.) Or if you are still under warranty, send it in to Microsoft(1-800-4MY-XBOX) because it will not take long for it to red ring on you.
