Also 1 more thing... this would be more computer related than game system because IT Professionals on this forum could answer your questions better than Gamers. I read up on the problem and have a 360 sitting in my room apart that is throwing that code... it seems that what Microsoft did was somehow outsourced to a Chinese 3rd party company that didn't know 100% what they were doing... and also the design of the 360 cooling system is pure cr*p... PC's have better heat-pipe and heatsync cooling systems than a 360 does.
It really all comes down to the fact that Microsoft made a design flaw that entrailed to the fact that the processor isnt pushed 100% uniform and evenly to the mainboard and the solder points that connect the proc to the mobo ... aren't that great.
The idea of that "overheat" fix is to make the solder joints reflow and make connection.... it's a shady way of fixing a design error :)
