Howzit all,

I found a post from another forum of why you might be getting RROD with secondary 0031 code.

Well, my xbox 360 today experienced 0031 error code when I use X-clamp fix on my xbox. What I did was take 4 metal washers out (I thought it would help the heat sink has more contact with the GPU chip) then I tightened the bolts. Then I turned on the Xbox 360 and it got 0031 error. I took a very carefully look and I figured out that the heat sink touched very small resistors near by the GPU on the motherboard. Then I did loose the bolts on the GPU heat sink a little bit to make sure the heat sink doesn't make contact with the resistors , then the Xbox ran just perfectly. Then I tried to tighten the bolts again to make the contact with resistors, the 0031 came up again.

So I'm 99% sure that the 0031 comes when the heat sink make contact with resistors on the motherboard (or maybe the bolts are overtightened). Sorry, but i don't have any picture for you guys.

My console is Xbox Elite.

If anyone has the same problem, try to solve the problem like I did.

Ah ye thanks mate just edited it but 0031 can also be caused by a cracked RAM brick...
So it may be rather a RAM power problem or so..
Added you as a reference

No problem.

Just for reference, if it was the ram brick that was faulty, where would one get it replaced?

Reballing will be necessary to do it properly.
Some guy called ultraraison swapped his damaged one with another from a spare mainboard.
He only used a heatgun and a screwdriver, worked at first but then he got 0110...

I got error 0031 on my HDMI elite after performing the xclamp. I loosened the bolts on the CPU heatsink because the forums here said it was an "unknown" problem and could be related to the CPU having a bad connection with the capasatators. So after that didn't work I did a google search and found this post... I then loosened the GPU heatsink as well and POOF! 1 completely working console. Thanks!!!!
