I have a 360 which Gets 3RROD then the DVD drive spins up and it gets 2RROD within about 5 seconds.

I left it on for about an hour and it didnt heat up at all. I took off the heatsinks and cleaned off the old thermal paste and applied some new Arctic silver 5 evenly. I dont know where to go from here, Help?

Thanks!

ummm im prety sure thats a common problem when the gpu is pysicly cracked soooo.............

could be that your heatsinks aren't sitting right. if you replaced the x-clamps, the screws might not be tight enough or your washers are too high.

What Secondary Error Code are you getting? You can go here to help you out better:

thanks for the post. i also get that problem.

If you are using washers get rid of them. That seems to be the biggest issue. As soon as I got rid of them my 360 was all better. 2 RRoD = overheating (strange you don't feel an heat). Just finger tightened the screws, let the unit overheat for 5 mitnues or so, power off, let it cool down then tighten the screws with a screw driver - not too tight!

It is because the CPU is heating up quickly. I put a fan over it and it stopped from going to 2 red lights.

Oh yeh and I'm not sure what to do next, because the GPU wont overheat because the CPU is overheating so quickly.. I re-applied artic silver 5 to it, and it still does the same thing.
