Xbox 360 is a fine piece of electronic gaming console which Microsoft has ever produced. The fancy and stylish looks of the console are sufficed to make fall in love with the console for any gamer. To play on the console is a very dramatic and thrilling experience and the console makes the gamer an ardent one. That is why Xbox 360 gamers are found stuck to the console for hours together with the same spirit from start to end of the play.

Are you observing while playing on your favorite Xbox 360 console 1 lower right hand side flashing red light with a message that reads as ‘e74 error’ at the bottom of the screen? Now this must have baffled you. But friend, there is nothing wrong from your side. The problem has aroused due to the overheating of the console. The HANA scaler chip on the motherboard got overheated and this deals with the display on your console and that is why your Xbox is showing the e74 error.

Normally in a high end PC, there is provision of liquid cooling with a powerful fan plus heat sinks. In the Xbox 360 gaming console, there is a pair of fans at the back and a couple of fans at the front. This cooling system is deficient to cool down the console quickly. That is why the console gets overheated and requires a lot of time to cool down. The overheating causes 1 blinking red light near the power button and the ominous e74 error that we receive at the bottom of the screen.

If your Xbox 360 console is under warranty period, then without coming to the decision of self repairing you should send your console to the Microsoft service center and let them work for you. What is important on your part, you have to be patient for 5 weeks without gaming until you get back your favorite console repaired.
