E74 error code is caused by a memory storage device attached to the Xbox 360 encountering a hardware error. You can try to remove the HDD and restart the console without it, if the E74 code won't appear it means that you need a HDD replacement. But if it still does appear, there is a general hardware failure in the system and it might require servicing. You can contact MS Xbox Support for it to be fixed, out of warranty console will be charged $99 dollars by the way.. Cheers!

HI...

You'll need someone to open it and replace the hardware holding down the processors. There are quite a few youtube videos on "how-to"

The E74 error is caused by the scaler chip at the back of the console taking too much heat. To fix it you need to stop the heat build up.

You can do this yourself using a good guide that will show you how to fix it with household items or you can send it in and they will fix it for you.

The e74 code is caused by one or more of the following:

Improper heat sinks and insufficient air circulation heat builds within Xbox 360's case.

The thermal glue that holds the video scaler (HANA/ANA) gets slightly out of place due to the increase in heat.

The e74 code is displayed as the scaler chip does not function properly and your Xbox 360 will not work.

I would recommend calling Microsoft's Techincal Support about this, maybe they can fix it. Their number is below.

Microsoft Technical Support(United States): 1-800-4-MY-XBOX (1-800-469-9269)

This E74 represents a dead lens issue. try unplugging for a 5 minute period and plug back in. this should reset the board. if the E74 comes back on your screen, this is a dead lens warning. it will have to be repaired by a local tech shop or Microsoft tech.

well screen might be bad does it work on anther comp ? if so yes its bad if it does work on other cheak video card drivers and card itself ok thx nick
