How not to fix the three red rings of death
When you get the 3 red rings do not do the following...
Towel trick
this causes harm to the GPU and it only temporary fix and will eventually trash your GPU. If you don't know how to re-ball a new GPU from china don't try attempting this
Heat gun
This does pretty much the same thing as the towel trick but it also ruins the board and GPU. The problem with the heat gun is that you cant keep a constant even temperature.
The penny trick
Its the exact same thing as the towel trick but your replacing the heat pads on the ram chips with pennies in electrical tape.
re-heating a mobo with a skillet
Don't be dumb all this is is a more advanced towel trick this only works if you have a hot air wand witch run over 100$
The only real way to fix the red ring of death error is to get the console re-flown or re-balled by a professional p.m. me i know a great guy

you should be able to have the gpu re-flown and it should work fine if not you can have someone put a new gpu in from china
