did you overheat the CPU after u replaced xclamps/thermopaste? if not overheat CPU till u get 2 red lights power it off and let it cool down for 15min then power on again. +rep if i helped.

iModTehCod wrote So i flashed a kv and it gave me christmas lights. i thought it was the kv that gave me red rings but it was my thermopaste. so i replaced the thermalpaste and x-clamps and now my jtag is still red ringed with the secondary code 0022. Does any one know how to fix this? My soldering is perfect and i have all my cables hooked up right. PLZ HELP!!!!!!!!!

The xmas lights WILL be caused by the KV. But if you got 0022 AFTER you replaced thermal paste then chance's are you probably got some under the chip causing a bridged connection as that is what that code usually means, a bridged solder joint under the GPU. So wash under the chip with alcohol, take it int he shower if you have to, just be sure to let it thoroughly dry before putting it back together lol

i cleanded the termal paste out from under the gpu that could have been bridging it and i put it back together and i still have the same problem

You need to be a bit more detailed in your problem. You got the xmas lights after bad KV flash, so you took it apart and replaced the thermal paste... Is that right?
