The E74 error is like the 'Red ring of death' or in other words the 'red ring of death' is when 3 red lights show on your Xbox 360 which means your console has over heated.

In the E74 error one red light should show on your xbox 360 which means the scaler chip that deals with the display on your TV set is overheating and as it overheats it shuts down to prevent damage and that is when you get the confusing message on screen.

To fix it you can send it back to Microsoft and it will be fixed for you but it will take a long time like 4 to 6 weeks

You can also use an Xbox 360 repair guide which will help you stop the heat build up with normal household items
