There is no error code.....just three red lights top left not red.

Where do I look for the error code?  Nothing comes on my screen......

I'm assuming you meant the top right light isn't red.  To get the secondary error code hold the sync button after the rrod comes up.  Holding the sync button the whole time, press the eject button and a few lights should be flashing faster.  Look at how many lights are flashing when you release the eject button and compare to this:
All four lights flashing - 0
One light flashing - 1
Two Lights flashing - 2
Three lights flashing - 3
Press the eject button three more times (holding sync the whole time) until you have four numbers, that's the secondary error code.  It gives the more specific cause of the RROD, so once we know the code we can help more.

I am thinking that with 0020 your CPU heat sink will almost fall off the chip after you remove the X-Clamp. With proper cleaning and thermal paste you should be back in business. Make sure to do both heat sinks.

Remove the heatsinks (you have to remove the clamps to do that) and clean the old paste from the bottom of the heatsinks and the tops of the chips.  Then put new paste on the chips and out the heatsinks and clamps back on.  You could do a preventative x-clamp fix but you probably don't have to.
