0110 is a cold or bridged solder joint on one of the RAM chips (I think particularly the GPU). Here is Willhelm's method if you can get your hands on a heat gun:
Spoke too soon, it crashed about 10 minutes after my last message and is freezing again. I'll try to figure out a solution and let you know. Keep me updated if you have any progress of your won.
The RROD xclamp kit does work if applied correctly..... The usual problems after installing the kit are 2 red lights - Overheat.... or keep the RROD.
Make sure when you install the kit that it is bolt.... followed by spring washer.... pass this through the board.... nylon washer... steel washer.... heatsink.
Apply pressure to the screws from one corner to the opposite corner until the spring washers are half compressed.... If you overtighten one side and tighten the other you will crack the processor die!
Once the clamp is in place the overheat the GPU with the fan over the CPU... Make sure your dvd drive is plugged in or get banned from xbox live when you power on..... heat the gpu for 10 minutes then power off..... Remove the motherboard and tight the screws half a turn each to pull the joints secure. Rebuild your xbox and play away.
Ive done about 80 of the machines and not once have any broke again!
If you recieve 2 red lights then make sure the 4 screws that hold the other xclamp in place are tightened and try again... If still 2 lights then completely remove the 2 screws next to the modified heatsink.... leave the other 2 in.. This should solve the issue....
If still problems then apply the clamp kit to the CPU aswell.
Ok this thread went from august 2008 to feb 2009. Obviously you're reviving dead posts that don't need to come back. Plus spring washers/lock washers are a terrible thing to use on the xbox. People have tried this without nylon washers on each side of the board and the results are destroyed motherboards. Even with the nylons the lock washers dig into the nylons. We've all seen it on this site and others. People follow horribly written directons and destroy the mb.

If they follow your horrible directions the lock washer is going to dig into the board causing a short.
I still say stick to llamma's tutorials, go with the drilling approach. Unless of course you have error 102 which usually requires the penny fix.
Make sure you have 3 steel and 1 nylon between the tray and the board and 1 nylon and 1 steel between the board and the heatsink. Remember the secret is in the spacing, each washer is 1mm thick so you need 4mm between the metal case and the board, and 2mm between the board and the heatsink. Make sure you insulate the board with the nylon washers.
Anyway, the xclamp replacement isn't going to fix a freezing xbox. The freezing issue is called by the ram comming off the board. So do me a favor, leave this tread alone and only reply to current updated topics.
i know i am bringing up an old thread but just wondering if anyone can help, i have a 360 that i reflowed with kester 951 and used arctic silver 5 on it to get it back from 3 red rings and no matter what i try it still freezes up. it was freezing about 2-5 minutes in a movie, then i took a heat gun and heated the back of the board and then it played for about 45 min then froze with a little bit of blocky look on the screen, so i have stopped there and was wondering if maybe i should try heating a little longer, i am afraid of heating the front of the board because of capacitors. I have fixed about 10 xbox 360's this is the first to do this so any help would be appreciated. thanks
well i took the chance and heated up the top side of the motherboard with a heat gun and kester flux and its worked through a whole movie and plus some, but i am going to try call of duty on it, i heard those games were hard on the console, but i want to test it before i sell it to someone, i wouldnt want someone selling me a bunch of junk. thanks for the help from all the other times.
