Xbox help

[luke]

Got bored and bought an xbox 360, again, now when I'm playing after half an hour or so the screen goes weird, like fuzzy at the bottom, and if there is lines on the game like progression on call of duty, it's a dotted line, I've checked all the cables and settings on the xbox and still no avail, anybody know what could be making this happen? Also I shall get a photo when I'm back off my weekend trip
