  • How to fix Xbox 360 error code e74?

    I have tried to do the “X Clamp” fix the 360 worked for about an hour then gave me the e74 error code. I then tried to clean off the thermal paste on the GPU and CPU and apply new paste then re-tighten the screws. This did not work. Does anyone have other suggestions that work?
    Thanks

    • wrap a towel over the xbox 360 and turn on, let it over heat for 5 minutes and it’ll work. Don’t believe me? go on youtube

    • DO NOT DO THE TOWEL TRICK!!!!!!! you will screw the box over so bad it will be a brick and microsoft will NOT do anything about it.

      All I know is I got the E74 and my friend did the thermal paste method with it and it worked fine. Hasnte had a problem since. Try doing the thermal paste method again but with the screws tightened differently. Also you might have a b1tch box so after you re screw the CPU and GPU back in dont put the case back on (yet) and see if it works. I have had a box where I was trying to fix the RRoD and when I screwed the case back on it would break again for some reason. Try that see what it does.

      DO NOT DO THE TOWEL TRICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! think about it. Do you think its good to purposely over heat your xbox to like 120 degrees???? do you think its good to put ANY electrical device into 120 degrees???? NO its bad for it and will make it a paper wieght dont do it

    • I found a guide on fixing the RRoD!

      It has information on how to:
