Try using another power supply. If your console works properly with the new power brick, then it needs to be replaced.

Botched repairs
This error is also common after failed repair attempts. Many times a reflow can blow tiny parts off the CPU/GPU (The rail area). This would also be a cause of the 0001 secondary error code.
