I was in the middle of playing with a few friends, when my display got messed up. There were a whole bunch of white lines going through the screen, with red pixel design things flying across it.
*sigh*
*EDIT*
As it turns out, it’s my graphics processor that’s faulty. I put in my other game discs, and they had the same problem. Also of note is error code “E 74″ along with a single red quadrant on some boot-ups. To rectify this temporarily, unplug all cables and storage devices, wait 20 minutes, then try again.
EDIT:
The problem here is not the disc! It’s the 360 itself, and you’ll have to send it in for repairs. Call 1-800-4MY-XBOX to schedule one.
EDIT AGAIN:
If they cannot repair your XBOX in 48 hours, they hold onto it, but send you back a used or “Refurbished” console. I got one of these back and they absolutely suck. It freezes up all the time, and it’s more of a hassle than the one I had. When you call in, make an attempt to tell them you want YOUR 360 back, no matter the repair time.
Dude this happened … 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. … 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.
that shit happen to … that shit happen to me 30 minutes ago I even took it to another tv and i saw it was the 360 piece of shit, this is my second one to fuck up on me.
i am currently … 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
E74: AV cable error … 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.
i have a video up … 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.
this funny kinda … 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 got a 360 arcade … 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
