Every once in a while my screen will go blank during a game. Sometimes it will come back on after a minute or so, other times I have to reboot and then maybe it will come back on. Ever heard of this?

Have you made sure the connections are firmly plugged in this could cause some various problems. I had a problem with the HDMI connection one day it would produce a great picture but it didn't recognize the sound portion. After doing some checking I found that the plug on the back of the console wasn't completely seated in it's connector.

If your tv isn't capable of outputting smething and you marked it somehow, that could be the problem (a guess)
