If it showed the RROD once, it will most likely happen again. The sooner you send it in, the sooner you get it back.

That'll work for a short time, but eventually the console is going to be shot. You're actually doing more harm than good with your current fix it sounds like.

if its under warranty, take it back...if not....do a rrod fix on it and replace the x clamps....the freezing is most likely ur GPU and related to overheat/rrod. The fact you saw RROD before it went fine again means that there is something losing contact. I'm pretty sure a nice overheat (fan only on cpu heatsink) will fix it nicely.

I just finished fixing 2 rrods for myself since my other 360 got banned....one of them was freezing within 5 min of turning it on. WHen I opened it up I saw it already had xclamps replaced....however it wasnt a good job. I redid it, overheated....updated the dash....havent had a problem with it yet....ive even left it on all night and while I was at work to see if it would freeze....nothing....last night I even played on it for 2 hours ( only got GH3 and GHWT that are retail copies right now lol) and still no freezing.

before I did it I was lucky to get it to a game title screen....

I have fix rrod too but this one was my 1st that freeze, most of the time i use the same x clamp i found it better unless it really need a lot pressure, i did push the gpu and the graphic change a lot so maybe was that, ill do what you did lol, leave it on a long time lol and see what happens. well the xbox is an 06 so maybe still under the 3year warranty. how can i make it get 3 red lights? if it still freeze ill send it back if i can, ill bet they will send a new one

To Fix this issue, you need to reflow the motherboard. I use a reflow station to do this. PM me if interested.
