y xbox 360 I bought has been running fine since I got it two years ago its a arcade model. All of sudden I will play for 45 minutes then green lines fill the screen and then it goes into a loop of restarting even if I shut if off it will restart til I unplug it.At first I thought it was the console now im thinking its the power brick Im about to order a new power brick off of amazon. Is it the console overheating or is it the power brick? I think one of em is overheating so if you can help thanks I tried contacting xbox support they just gave me a link with av problems nothing that would help.

Sounds like the console overheating causing a graphical error.
I seem to remember overheating was a common issue on the Arcade model.
You could try opening it up and replacing the thermal paste, or otherwise providing it with more airflow. I think it was caused by TIM drying up, although that might have been the old PS3s.

Also, damn dude, that thing is like a decade old.
