dominchi, just like those answers above state, your Xbox is suffering from the RROD. This is most likely caused from stress fractures in the solder joints of the GPU/CPU. There are really only a few things you can try. One is the RROD kit from here.Install the kit after you try to reflow your board. The guide for that is here. Sorry to tell you this, but a hair dryer does not provide enough heat to do a proper reflow. Any of these fixes are not permanent, but should work for a while. The only permanent fix is a professional reball of the GPU/CPU. Hope this helps, good luck.
Xbox 360 Red Ring of Death Fix Kit
Used to fix Xbox 360 consoles with the RROD failure. — 50+ available at 29.95 each.
I am not sure how old your system is but 2 rings indicate that it is overheating and usually on its way to three rings. :) You mention that it had been fixed before. Did you fix it or was it professionally done? Usually a basic reflow even done professionally will extend the life of your system by a year but it isn't a perminant fix by any means. Homebrew fixes that you see on youtube and such are just temporary. How long are you using the system for before you get the two rings? Who fixed the system the last time and what method did they use?
Kevin Wells,
The console was made in 2005 and i brought from carboot as 3 red rings then i fix by using a hairdryer went over motherboard for 5 mins each side put it together then there was two lights
