So I turned xbox360 and saw 3 red lights. I determinated it is 0110 error.
To fix this problem, I used hot air gun and thermo pasta. Here's how i did it:

1. Opened xbox360 and removed gpu heatspreader.
2. Used hot AIR gun about 12mins. I heated everything including GPU.
3. Then put a dot of thermopasta on gpu and spreaded with razor blade.
4. Assembled xbox360 and turned it on.

Now its working ! I played 3 hours without any problems ! I'll report if something goes wrong.

I will give it max a month working that way. The heatgun method was proven to be a temporary fix. Sorry you shoud have returned it to M$

The heat gun method is NOT a temporary fix, if you do it properly.  Follow TeamModFreakz video and yes, it will probably be a temporary fix.  At risk of attacking a person with helpful intentions, any person who mimics that video will likely fail.  "Fail" can mean a temporary fix in the vast majority of cases.

Did you really get hot enough to melt solder?  How do you really know?  There's nothing magical about 12 minutes of time, or 2 minutes or whatever.  Put a little piece of smashed solder onto each chip in question and then you'll know.  Only then do you have the right to say whether a reflow really worked or not.  Even THEN it could be a little dicey.  But in any event don't listen to anyone who passes final judgment against the procedure because this board is full of desperate 17yr old boys who are monkeying the video without understanding the principles.  Estimating the procedure's success on this test group is impossible.
