error code 2STH/1/3:cpu AAD7417AD1

I am using a Power Mac G5 and its crashing down when I'm running the softwares and hardly start as well..took it to a reseller and got a bill and ask me to change the logic board..is there any way to fix this without replacing the logic board..please help..thank you..

I found this;

2STH code is a thermal module failure
The numerals after that don't mean much outside of Apple

The last set (CPU A xxxxxxxx) means a failure in one of the AD modules in CPU A (which is one of the processors)
Yours is (most likely) a dual 2.5 GHz, with both processors in one unit (including the liquid cooling system) so you can't replace just one CPU, you have to replace the complete processor unit.
