Last week I received the RRoD fix-up kit for the CPU & GPU. Did the stuff twice to ensure no excess paste damage the system. Anyway... After receiving a voltage error, I was led to believe that I pasted too much the first time. Went back to fixing it properly, the system worked for awhile & I receive the 2 left(top & bottom) red lights. Checked on the forum, found it was related to the fan. First thing I did was take the HDD off, and plug only the wired controller to the system(all assembled for power-up & stuff). It worked perfectly for about 10 to 15 minutes before the 2 Red Lights appeared. When I attach the HDD, the system received the 2 red lights in about 30 secs to 3 minutes.
Any ideas or fixs for the problem? Already voided the warranty & left the sticker off, so I can do the fix while waiting on my first 360 to return from the Repair Center.

In all fairness, he did post again four days later. The double post usually is for those who post, then again within a day or even 5 minutes of each other. I usually let it go when it's more than two days... People want a response fast, and they think that posting again in 6 hours gets them more attention, well, it does, but not the attention they wanted...
4-days though, that's a good distance between posts... I only bitch when the time and dates are within two days. There is no official time period on double posting, but I think 4-days is ok, IMO anyway...
