Known fixes:

1) Make sure the CPU heatsink is making good contact with the chip, apply a thin layer of compound and put the heatsink on without screws, make sure it gives a good imprint then.

3) Cut the temperature sensor trace

Description:

This error appears when the CPU overheated, after that the xbox locks itself until it cooled the chip down.The reason for that is that the heat cant be dissipated to the heatsink/ the heatsink isnt cooled properly...
This can be the result of improper thermal compound usage or if the error comes up instantly while booting the console, the heatsink will likely not be making any contact at all with the chip.
In rare cases it can also be a faulty temp sensor.

The white fan tunnel not being on can cause this error too.

Cutting the temp trace worked for me! I got the error after doing the X-clamp
fix and forgetting to add the washers between mobo and CPU heatsink. I was able
to run the xbox and play a game for around 5 minutes and then got the 2 lights.
The fans were really loud by then.
