Ok recently just during COD4, the video will drop out. I noticed this only for COD4, while playing online.


The screen will go blank, but the optical audio sound will still work.


This does not happen with other games i play. Although I dont play them online. I play alot of hockey and fifa lately 2x2 with freinds and never does it drop out.


Just the last few times its been loosing video, tonight the video just went out, and the other night a weird messed up image came on the screen and then it went blew.


I looked at the 360 crashes and the weird screen looked similar to that.


I do however have an hdmi premium version, I purchased maybe 2 years ago, I think when they added hdmi to all consoles.


I decided its either the 360 crashing, hdmi drop out, or the disc which is scratched is having problems (although wouldnt I loose the audio as well, or something with xbox live, since this only happens so far with COD 4 and while im online.



Now regarding my hdmi run, I have a 6 foot 28awg going from 360 to my hdmi switch, which apperantly has a built in amplifier, and from there I have a 24awg 35 foot run, all monoprice cable.


Does the 6 foot run from my 360 to my hdmi switch also need to be 24 awg, to get the full bandwidth or frequency or whatever it is. OR is it fine running a 28awg to a switch, and then a 24 awg to the projector.



My other ideas on the disc being scratched, something with xbox live, or if my 360 is crashing i would like to hear more about.

I should mention I dont think it is hdmi drop out, even though that was my first guess. My ps3 hd pvr, and blue ray player, have no issues at 10800p. My hd pvr, and blue ray player, have even longer runs then the 360 (another 6 feet of hdmi) because they run through my flea processor.



Any thoughts, suggestions, Ideas would be very helpful.


This does not happen often, it happened maybe once every 2 months, it just happened again for the first time in a long time a couple nights ago, and then again tonight. Both on xbox live and playing cod4, i just lost picture and the other night, the one that happened the other night, the screen went weird, similar to the crashes i watched on youtube before it lost picture. TOnight the picture just dropped off.


A restart of the xbox fixes everything.
