Description:
This error appears when the GPU overheated, after that the xbox locks itself until it cooled the chip down.The reason for that is that the heat cant be dissipated to the heatsink/ the heatsink isnt cooled properly... This can be the result of improper thermal compound usage or if the error comes up instantly while booting the console, the heatsink will likely not be making any contact at all with the chip.

I have applied new thermal paste and tried to warm up the mother board and as
soon as it switches over to the overheat code it kicks my fans of and stops
heating up, this is the code i get. I have tried tightening up the bolts on both
the GPU and CPU and still the same thing.....any ideas???
