You have to remove the heatsink and clean it, put some new heatsink compound on it (also called thermal paste, available at radio shack), and run it hot for 20 minutes. Look on youtube.

Remove the fan but leave it connected also. Carefully power up system being careful not to touch any internal components so you don't get zapped. Turn your system on and let it run without the fan blowing on the system at all. Wait for the three lights to turn to two (meaning it is overheating), then turn the system off and let it cool for 15-20 minutes. Try the system now. For me, it worked!

Enstead of cooling the CPU and not the GPU, I moved the fan away from both and then waited for the double-red overheat indication, then turned my system off to cool for 15 minutes. It worked! I like this repair much more than the towel trick. At least this way not all internal components are being cooked. It does seem likely that the GPU and or CPU would be the components to creep away from their solder. This repair worked for me.
