What are the causes of Error 74 on the xbox 360? Anything I can do myself to fix it?
Filed under: enart.cgnq.com — smith @ March 22, 2010 edit
  • I was playing Gears 2 this morning and everything was fine with my system. I then packed it up in a secure case and placed it in my car to be brought over to another house that i was gonna stay at over the weekend, Not even an hour later after i was just playing it, i hooked it up and it it said i had error 74. wtf? It stayed in my car outside for about half an hour in like 20-25 degree weather so could that have any impact on this error? Are their any permanent fixes to this problem that i can do myself?


  • E74: There is high chance it's a scaler chip problem (the "ANA" or "HANA" chip near the AV cable connection) it can also be caused by a faulty AV cable so check that first. In some cases it is a problem with the GPU and may be repairable by doing the x-clamp replacement (see error 0102)

    0102 Error in the "Digital Backbone" (CPU/GPU/RAM), this is usually caused by a cold solder joint between the GPU and the mainboard.
    There are two theories to fixing this one deals with the "X" clamps that hold down the chips. The other involves re-Heating the chips. DO NOT attempt either of these if your console is still under warranty. If your console is still under warranty return it to the store where it was purchased or call MS to have it replaced.


  • You should contact Xbox 360 to ask about Error 74. See http://support.xbox.com/support/en/us/xb... .
