Alright so earlier this week I was playing Red Dead Redemption when my xbox started goin crazy. I turned it off then turned it back on. I got one flashing red ring... and some E 74 error. Can anyone help me to fix this because I don't want to have to send it in to microsoft. Thanks

Sorry man best choice is to send it to microsoft if you still have warranty before anyone else tries to fix it for you.

You do NOT wanna do that towel trick! its useless it will work for like a day or 2 then RROD again. Send it back. They will send in a new one.

Do the towel trick and you'll have to probably get it reballed. It cooks the motherboard, capacitors, etc. Not a good technique.

The problem with the towel trick is that it will only last for another week ect.

But you burn the motherboard which can make it worse
