My 360 has succumbed to the dreaded RED RINGS OF DEATH. Fucking sucks.

I can only imagine him being caught in the whirlwind of anger that must have resulted upon the dying of the xbox.

Basically, I rebuilt how the heat sinks are anchored to the motherboard...With the normal system, it puts too much pressure on the bottom of the CPU/GPU and when it heats up, it flexes against the motherboard. Eventually it causes a solder to break. If you rebuild the anchors it allows the chip to reconnect. Then you can overheat it on purpose and it'll resolder itself.
