Description:

This error is caused by a faulty/cracked RAM brick, however it can also be caused when the heatsink is shorting out a resistor or like a bad solder joint under the GPU?, check out the links in the references...
Also caused by the Southbridge if not properly soldered to motherboard or if it experiences a power short.
Can be caused by a backwards power cord or faulty power cord to dvd player.

- if you update to freeboot 9199 with bridged U6T1 or U6T2 this error will appear, unbridged it (Shadow-Wizzard)

I had this error caused by a bad reflow. I reballed the GPU and error was gone
so it definitely can be linked to a bridged solder joint under the GPU as well.
If you can't do reballing it may make it a bit hard to fix so perhaps use
HIGH grade high quality flux to repair it?

Where can you buy a new dvd power cord and also where can you buy new RAM bricks
and how do you install them

DvD Power Cord Confirmed. I repair about 15-20 xboxs a week here in San Diego,
and I came across one that had this 0031 Error Code today. I am just confirming
that I repaired it just by switching out the dvd power cord. Easy $50.
