i had the same problum ....i was playing GTA 4 and i got Green lines going down the screen i tried my other games and got the same thing after a few minutes i got the e74 error :D
LOL has anyone considered buying a new xbox360 elite after september 09 these problemes have been reversed
ive had the resedent evil 5 xbox360 since september and my other black elite works fine and me and my cousin play them heaps i didnt switch to ps3 because xbox360 has anti aliesing on a seperate chip so it can smooth images and on the main core can do all the harrd core codeing graphics are better on xbox360 argue with me because some of you will but its the truth
the dam first xbox worked better then this i still got that shit running beatifully and a modded one with 60 GB hdd and two others modded that im going to sell lol but i mean this pisses me off after 4 years now i get vertical green lines and a fucked up green frozen screen with squares
the xbox would most definitely be the greatest console ever if the hardware failures or RROD werent around...damn microsoft and your good consoles but shitty hardware
I modified mine with a better fan, Better GPU, and I got a cooling fan, so good luck MIcrosoft. You're not stealing another 100 bucks from meh, MIcrosoft :D!
LOL it was like saying goodbye to you and the Xbox is going to heaven, poor Xbox you must have been stress her.... those white screen mean's it needs to go to heaven... bye-bye =P
i got the same thing with the error code and screen but my screen went more than 1 color like red blue green yellow white ...yea and to fix error code E 74 you just need to remove your hard drive and put it back on... doesn't fix the screen though
The same thing just happened to me just over an hour ago. At first I thought it was only limited to Fable 2, but then I put other discs in and saw it was the 360 instead of just that game.
Same to me except instead of white lines, mine were black and then I had blue dots flying all over the place. I had one red light and the E74 error. Im sending mine out once I get the box.
I just got a HD tv and bought the component hd av cable. It's from the "pelican" company or what ever that brand name is. Anyway my screen keeps getting dashed lines through it going across the screen. I'm going to return the cable and get a michrosoft one. I hope that'll fix it. Iether that or I need to get a converter to use a hdmi cable. I have a core system that I bought from a friend by the way. Comment me back if this'll work. Although I will have already bought the MS brand cable.
when my brother was playing madden yesterday there were a bunch of red lines across the screen and it worked fine. the next morning when we tried error e74 came up. so far i've tried to hit it i've done the towel trick the last thing to do before i send it in is buy a new AV cable and i think that it should work cuz it only goes red when the av is plugged in so i am going to pray and pray for the next few hours be fore i go to the store
same happened to me! Playing halo3 the screen got messed up with white dots! the E74! So i wrapped it in a towel for 25 min. it overheated i let it cool down for about an hour......NOW IT WORKS!!! its been 2 months since it happened.
yeah i was playing halo ts on snowbound- about to get my 47 and..... my screen went green, but i could still play. i turned my 360 off and put it back on and it was black with white dots
u know what happened to me i start my 360 and it flashes weird colors den u can hear a sound but thres no picture i checked the AV Cable And iTs right wow If any1 Knows how to fix dis problem Reply to me
well for me my screen went to a lime green colour with heaps o biggiest solid circles goin up and dwn and everywan that ryts about it all have diff stuff to mee
dude same thing with me i got one back and it wasnt mine i could tell because i wrote my name in sharpie on the side and i got one back that was unusally loud and freezes every game is there a way i can get MY 360 back not this 360?
I have been getting this error, I am going to go buy the stuff tomorrow to do the xclamp fix and see if it helps. As of now I have my xbox completely open with the motherboard and stuff exposed to keep it as cool as possible and it seems to stave off the GPU errors.
Micro$oft really proved they don't care one bit about their consumer base...it's frustrating I have to go through so much to enjoy my xbox 360. Oh well, we'll see if the xclamp fix can avoid my fast approaching rrod.
man, when my xbox turns on, all i see is a black screen with white lines running diagonoly across. my friends recommend the towel trick but i dont know if it will work. so i really need help fixing this problem.
If the xbox was a decent kit there would be no need for all the videos claiming to fix it. All the overheating issues should have been fixed before it was released. just a stupid decision on Microsofts part. And the fucking games scratch if the box is tilted when its on. PS3 doesnt do that! Buy a Ps3 and make your life that little bit happier. MGS4!!!
exactly the same thing happened to me i was playin on halo 3 in the middle of a match it went all blurry so i left the game and lost exp!!! and had the same screen as you
Ouch.. but in all reality, the 360 is a pretty easy fix, like with the X-Clamp and stuff.. if you can get ur hands on some arctic silver, the towels thing just sounds stupid... lol
Well i do agree lol PC is the most reliable.. and 5 Xbox? O.o? lol, i've only ever had one, maybe i'm one of the few that has had a good experience with it XD lol.
I'm talking about 360 "Defaults" you don't need to mess about, just cuz a game is 1080p doesn't make it a good game.. good story and gameplay make it a good game which PS3 has very little of, and most exclusives have 1080p anyway, it depends on your TV/Monitor. and this isn't about a PC.. i have a top line custom PC as well.. big deal.
360 has much better exclusive games, comparable graphics, and much better online play than PS3, more customization, and better entertainment center capabilities "via Media Center PC connectivity." The only thing that PS3 really has up on 360 is the Blu Ray disc reader which isn't really enough to sway loyal consumers. Not all 360's are like that, mine has worked perfectly for the 2 years i've had it.
It's about to be a red ring of death! I know it! I have a same problem like this when i'm trying to load my Burnout Paradise Disc. Then it's become Officially RROD......
My friends xbox did the same thing, mine just died, 1 rod fixed it using the penny method, but then jammed my fan... I hate xbox now but i hate ps3 more so i guess its the wii.... nothing like japan.
i have the exact same problem and they said i have to pay for when i thought they extended the warrenty but thats only for the 3 red rings which is fucking gay why sell a product that doesn;t fucking work
i got a 360 arcade unit for x-mas so it has the "falcon bord" on the inside right? becase to my understanding it stops the RROD tho i may be wrong i love halo 3
this funny kinda cause this is my second 360 and now waiting for the third one to sale fuck xbox you make me sick it just make me wonder that 360 has good games but the system sucks
i am currently dealing with the same bullshit, i'm trying to figure out a way to force the red ring of death by constantly over heating it on purpose, i will let you know if i'm succesfull =P
i have a video up of my console doing the this , check out. by heating mine it seams to make it better. i will just continue to do this until something fails. at this point i'm willing to take the risk of having to pay if some else goes wrong.
Dude this happened to me when i was playing halo3 so i turned my 360 off and then powered it back on and on the screen it said system error E74 if any one knows how to fix it plz tell me thx.
It happened to me. I just sent it for repair. It was in warranty so they actually ended up replacing the whole console. The process takes around two to three weeks. Sign in your account and then register the xbox, you have to make a couple of calls, but I guess its worth it after a while. Piece of shit, they gave me a free 1 month subscription to xbox live for the hassle.
E74: AV cable error... There is a problem with the AV cable, try using a different AV cable. If the cable is known to be working then there is a 90% chance it's a scaler chip problem (the "ANA" or "HANA" chip connected directly to the AV cable) in rare cases it is the GPU.
so its the hard drive
