the 3 rings almost always mean you just have some type of cold solder joint in either the cpu or gpu chips.
now there are cases where things are actually overheated and burnt out but thats rare on a typical 360.
but like you said go on youtube and do one of the xclamp mods on it and it almost always works as long as the 360 isnt totally effed.
will cost 20 bucks at max for screws, washers, and the thermal paste
ive fixed a grip of 360s and havent failed yet with this fix.
if you havent gotten ahold of the other guy i can fix them also.
good luck!

what do you think the xclamp is? its a better solution to cooling as it adds more pressure to the components thus increasing the thermal conductivity...
i dont see how thats related to a cold joint.
