E74 for XBOX 360 is a hardware failure. Unplug all controllers, hard drives, memory card(s). Unplug and reseat the power cable and the A/V cable. Check the power supply to see that color led lights up when you turn the console on. If it is red or orange it is an issue with the power supply (either overheating or too much/too little power. If you are plugging the power supply into a cheap surge protector plug it directly into the wall. If none of these suggestions work then you need to contact Microsoft.
