    I would personally recommend not trying to "fix" it. It'll just make it worse. Just send it to M$.

    You're making the problem worse. The reason you get the RROD is because the GPU comes loose from the motherboard because the thermal paste that MS put on the Xbox is cheap, and the X-Clamps that hold the cooler aren't strong enough. Buy a RROD fix on Ebay for like 7 bucks and you can fix it quite easily, I fixed my old 360. That's if you don't have warranty with Microsoft. Microsoft has extended their warranty for RROD to 3 years from the time you bought it.

    You will never fix it permanently with "heat tricks" The only thing you are doing by overheating it is making the Xbox think the problem is fixed, so the RROD lights go away, but the problem is still there. You will get the RROD again soon unless you replace the X-clamps with bolts and you apply new thermal paste to the GPU and CPU. It's very easy to do.

    This kit is all you need to get your Xbox 360 running again.

    Here's how to take the Xbox 360 apart.
