Default Error 0022 GPU problem

So, there's something wrong with my GPU. What a surprise. I've done much researching on this and have found that the GPU may not be fully connected to the board anymore. I already attempted a certain "trick" which did me no good. What a surprise. So here is my question. I do not under any circumstance want to void my warranty so I do not want to open up my xbox. But what I want to do is overheat the GPU but keep the CPU from overheating. I do not know how to do this. I'm hoping what will happen is the GPU will re-solder itself to the board. I need to keep the CPU's temp down though otherwise the 360 will just shut off. Any advice on how to do so?

Ummmmmmmmmm, no. I'd call 1-800-4MY-Xbox. If your still under warranty just send it in.

The chances of the GPU resoldering itself, correctly, to the motherboard are a million-to-one. It's more likely that you'll just short-circuit the motherboard instead.

Call MS, they'll fix it properly (well, relatively).
