The E74 System Error - Xbox 360 Elite

This is footage of my xbox 360 elite with the E74.

I never expected this to happen because I hadn't played my xbox for a while. So I turn it on, and this happens. Luckily my xbox was only 8 months old and I got it changed the day after it happened.

E74 System Error: 27/8/08

Song: Nine Inch Nails - Track 13 Ghosts II

Note: Sorry about the bad quality. Had to record off my phone.

Placing the 360 on the bed kinda doesn't help, it needs better air flow. It still doesnt compensate for what happened but keeping the 360 on a flat surface helps. Even some PS2's overheat if left on a bed or non flat surface.

My xbox was only on the bed for video purposes. If you look closely I have a small stand under my tv. Thats where my xbox was. ^^

1 ring is hard drive faILURE

[ucantcme999]

In some cases.

I did troubleshooting and I took everything out of my xbox, put it back in and it still didnt work.

I got a new one though and my harddrive still worked.

But what I have heard, it can be harddrive.

Mainly the AV cable port or GPU or HANA graphics failure.

dude ur video has made me angry and depressed...i got my elite 4 month's ago after giving up on my previous 360.spent a shit load of cash trying to permanently fix that one...the thing was eventually totally shot so i decided to spend the 500 on the elite since i was under the impression that the elite was waaaay more reliable..now here i am 4 monthes later with this fuckin e74 bullshit...how can Microsoft get away with this..also dude u say you got it changed right away??wut does that meen?? .

[ucantcme999]

Each xbox has a 12 months warranty, meaning your covered for a year if your xbox breaks, you can take it back to were you bought it from and they should legally give you a new one without charge. I know what you mean though. Microsoft need to sort this out.

@ucantcme999 I really need your help. I just got my XBOX yesterday, turned it on for the 2nd time today and started to play L4D2 and there were horizontal bars on the screen and it was strobing. Is that an e74 error or a loose cable? I was too nervous to wait for it to do something so I shut it off and I am trubleshooting for a correct answer. Please Help!

@painkiller1784 I got it too, then I bought PS3. I just recently sold my PS3 because it sucks compared to the Xbox so I went and bought a new one.
