the 2 left lights right ? and they flash on & off ?
are you fans still working ? are they blocked by a wall or anything ?
you are right it is a overheating thing try cleaning the dust out of it
that might help (if there is any that is)
a flashing frenzy huh huh

If you try everything else, you may want to take the heatsinks off, and put some new thermal paste on...

It could be that your CPU and GPU are heating up, and the heat is not being transferred to the heat sink, causing the 2 red lights...
