Do the xclamp fix.
1.Break the xbox down
2.Pull out the motherboard
3.Take the xclamps off the motherboard
4.Pull the cpu and gpu heatsinks off the chips
5.Clean all the old paste from the back of the heatsinks and top of chips.Make sure you clean it spotless.
6.Add about a pea size of Arctic Silver to top of chips
7.Spread evenly with a razorblade across the top of chips
8.Put heatsinks back on using the bolts and washers(plastic and metal)Do not tighten all the way up
9.Put the motherboard back in and hook everything up but the fan
10.Turn on xbox and after a few minutes it will overheat and red lights will come back on(let run for 2 minutes)
11.Turn off console and let cool
12.Take everything back a loose and tighten bolts down tight
13. Put cosole back together

This should work it did for me

Well don't open it if it's still under warranty. But ya, two lights usually means it overheated..
