Re: RROD Qs

If you;re getting the 3rlod then the only fix that has a chance of working is doing what's called the x-clamps replacement. THis is essentialy when you replace the clams holding the heatsinks in place, and bolt them to the CPU/GPU with machine screws, reaplcing the paste en route.

It's not guranteed to work - it did for me, but only for a month or so. I then baked my motherboard in the oven, which did the trick until GTA4 came out. A second bake fixed it again, but I don't know how much life it has left in it.
