Just create an account and use your serial number. They'll even give you a pre-paid shipping label to send it off to the repair center.

well you can do the towel trick, but first you need to do the xclamp mod to get rid of the stress on the board then do the towel trick to reheat the solder joints to line back up. then you shouldnt see a problem ever again.

Towel trick? I think I missed something.

Just looked up the towel thing. To me it doesn't ever seem like a good idea to overheat an electrical component.

Isn't the overheating the reason it stops working in the first place?

No, poor QC is the reason it stops working.

well the towel trick is bad. You dont want to over heat the CPU, you just want to overheat the GPU.

The gpu heat sink was held with a clamp that looked like an X. When it heats up it turns real flexible and bends the mobo causing stress on the joints, while being overheat thejoints jsut melt and when that board is bent it cools and the joints break when it is fully cooled. causing the redring of the death.

To fix it you need to replace the clamps with new bolts and nuts and then reheat the gpu so the solder joints inside bead up again and realign themselves, let cool, and power up!

Yah, but I just let M$ do it for me b/c it was under the warranty...

So, now I still have a warranty...
