This fixes microfractures in the solder and reconnects the problematic chips (GPU) to the board. This also called solder reflow. This procedure can be done with most graphics card and motherboards with instability problems. It can even be used to repair a PS3 that has a YLOD or a Xbox360 that has RROD.
Basically, reflow soldering (on your end...it's actually a manufacturing term) re-solders all the points on your board. It's difficult to do by hand, and there are ways to do it with real tools - however, you can accomplish a cheap way by stripping your motherboard / GPU (Graphics Card) and sticking it in an oven, very similar to the procedure commonly done to dead GPUs.
