May be a heat issue - check the fan vents are not blocked with dust/lint - get the vacuum and give them all a good clean. You may also want to disassemble, check fan operation and redo the thermal paste as well.
Have a look at THIS GUIDE as well
There are OTHER GUIDES that will also assist in disassembly if required.

tried a couple of times to turn it on again. It runs green for a few seconds. then a quick yellow (did not see it turn yellow last time) then to flashing red. It is 3 short beeps.

when i reflow the board am i suppose to do both sides of the board or just the side with the CPU and GPU? i saw it on a different site where they did both sides. i don't want to try to reflow it again if i don't need to just yet. the paste gets expensive.
