    • This video is garbage. nothing is shown besides you turning it on twice. The way to fix e74 error is easy and it will never fail again (e74 anyway). You need to change out the X Clamps that MS foolishly uses and replace them with [4] 10mm M5 bolts, [8] metal washers, and [8] plastic washers. You’re basically securing the heat sink to the GPU. Thats why you get E74, the Video processor heats up because the heatsink pulls away from the GPU due to faulty clamps that hold the heatsink in place.

    • Sorry but the Ps3? I rather get my 360 fix then to ever go back to the update old and new games for 6 to 10 minutes then it updates for another 6 to 10 minutes, then more constant updates, then lags in 6 out of 10 on-line game play, no one use a mic, not to mention the psn share the same line with every one else just like playing a P.C. on line. flooded with lag switching cheaters. 360 we have our own sever= hardly no lags, rare updates, better games, lag switcher? They get booted AUTOMATICALLY.

    • @Qpoitras yup ps3 is bull shit to it gets the yellow light of death duh

    • were here to fix our xbox not read why we should switch to a ps3

    • PS3 IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO, i bought 4 xbox360s and 2 have failed with in a year and half, not a very good record i would say. at least you can watch blue ray movies and game with a ps3.

    • wow i checked on the web site at it said to push down on some of the chips near the back port where the a/v cable hooks up and then i pushed down on them and it worked

    • Wow that worked for me too for about a minute. Then the screen turned pretty colors again. Turned it off then the error was back. It use to have rrod. That’s what you do to fix the rrod problem.

    • thanx man my xbox would not work at all we tried tons of stuff then we saw your video and it saved my xbox so thank you man..

    • what the hell did you do? i don’t see what you did.

    • This works great, but I have had to do it more than once. The last time has lasted for three weeks now.

    • Yeah, wat did u do, did u like press something down or turn the big block, wat was it?, please reply

    • what is it that you did? i saw, but can you name the parts/ explain what your doing?
      thanks-this REALLY REALLY HELPS, but i saw another video showing something similair, but it wasn’t clear from the view the camera was at?

    • WTF it costs 100 bucks to get this thing repaired for me…does it cost for anyone else?

    • Screwedup4life2

      if u have e 74 u have to have the gpu reflowed and reballed. this stuff on youtube don’t work

    • are thermal paste and lithium grease the same thing?

    • @meeser93 Cpu overheating, gpu doesn’t have a thermosister os it won’t turn off if it gets too hot.

    • if theres no warranty open the bitch up take off ur heat sinks and go to and computer electronics store get sum silver thermal paste and put new thermal paste on go to home depot or a hard ware store gut 8 lock washers 8 regular washers 16 fiber washers 8 10 32 3/5 bolts ad put that bitch back together it should work fine and dont buy the damn online kits there too expensive you can get ll this fr around 15 bucks thermal was10 screws were 98 cents watchers about the same

    • i sent my xbox 260 back to microsoft for repair for the second time idk what was wrong with it this time ….it would restart itself while on then would keep doing that and the back would get very hot very fast any1 know what this problem is??

    • @emoboynumber13 you have a over heating problem maybe tighten heatsink down more

    • 2 red rings means ur cpu and or gpu is overheating

    • put pressure on it and thermal paste and the white casing for the fans and it should work
