This worked great, but I noticed when I was cleaning the thermal paste off of the chips that an excessive amount of thermal paste was used and it looked like it had ran off the heatsink during a extended gameplay session and shorted out on the surface mount resistors and diodes.
I know that arctic silver 5 is conductive and the material I cleaned off seemed to be very similar. I used acetone and my old sonic toothbrush head and lots of cuetips to remove all the old thermal paste before using just enough arctic silver to ice the top of the chips. I followed the instructions to the heatup phase when I powered it on to heat it up it worked again! So I quickly shut it down and tightened the screws, checked again, fine! So I reassembled and have ran it nonstop for 2+ hours not a single glitch or freeze and no RROD! Be careful with the thermal paste just use enough to coat the top of the cores.
Thanks again for the help.

I used RROD FIX PRO and it helped. The main thing is fully attaching new screws.

Worked for me as well, second time I’ve needed to do it and used the ‘heat up and re-seat’ approach as per video and now works a treat.

This is the type of design problem that typically comes about by a rush to market.
