If the red lights come on right away and the heat sinks are not really hot, then the heat sinks are not making proper contact with the chips. Either tighten the screws a little more or get the right height washers. you may have to remove 1 washer if you used two before. Remember it does not take long for any electronic item to overheat if the heatsink or fan are not working right. it took my xbox about a minute for the 2 red lights to start flashing if it is not done right
remove the x-clamps
clean off the old past
add new paste
replace the heatsinks with new screws but don't tighten them all the way yet
reassemble the drive but not the fans or case
plug it in and turn it on until the lights start flashing (about 10-15 minutes)
then once it is cool enough to handle tighten down the new screws
The screw should be fairly tight, but no tight enough to strip them.
Make sure that all your cables are properly re-connected. Clean out your XBox and make sure that all air entry slots are open and no obstruction is caused. also, make sure the optical drive is clean and connected right. Also, pay good attention to the two copper connectors that control the CD drive tray....good luck

You know what..I've been an Xbox user for quite some time and I encountered this error but I fixed it through the help a repair guide and a helpful resource..you can check out this resource: SPAM it helped me fix my Xbox 360 so it may also help you..hope this helps..If you can't find the solution in that resource, your last resort would be to send your console to a repair center and have it fixed for a fee.

roger you have to many questions going about the same thing. read my answer at http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/42221...
oldturkey03,
ya i was tryin to get the right one that it is doing i think this one is it lol let it sit over night still same thing dont get how it is over heating when it is not even hot
roger,
so when you delete the previous question did you check what i had pointed out? If it does not overheat but shuts down with the two lights on the left there are also more possibilities
oldturkey03,
still doing the same thing not sure what to do
