Yes depending on what this error is and I bet it is the E74 error. It is caused by the scaler chip which deals with all the graphics and display processing overheating.
You can get it fixed by giving Microsoft a call and getting them to pick up and repair ti for you.
Or you can fix it from home using an Xbox 360 Repair guide
The Xbox 360 e74 error is a rather common problem on
Xbox consoles, with similar roots to the now infamous red ring of death
problem.
The e74 issue is actually caused by a problem
with the scaler (ANA or HANA) chips located next to the graphics
processor inside your Xbox 360.
It is believed that the error with the
scaler video chip which causes the e74 error on your Xbox 360 is caused
by overheating. This is also the cause of other errors such as the no
video problem, as well as red lights in the power ring of an Xbox
console.
To fix the Xbox 360 e74 code, there are a few steps you need to take-
1.
Firstly, leave this article open, go to your Xbox 360 console and then
remove the AV cable. Blow any dust out of it, then re-insert it snugly
back into the console until a clicking is heard. Power on your console
again and see if the problem has been fixed.
2. If that does not
work, borrow another AV cable (get one off a friend or family member,
or from your local video game rental shop) Try using this one in your
Xbox 360.
3. If replacing the AV cable does not work, then you
will have to repair the scaler chip and graphics processor inside your
Xbox in order to fix the e74 problem. To do this, you will need an Xbox
360 repair guide, which will contain the video instruction files you
need to be able to fix your console properly. You cannot fix the e74
yourself without one.
It is important to note that most Xbox
repair guides focus on fixing the "red ring of death". However, the
process for repairing the e74 will also be covered in the same guide as
well, as it is extremely similar.

The cause of the E74 Error might be overheating of
your console and for avoiding such error messages in future you need to
put your machine at an open space. Ensure that it is placed near the
window or you can also make some external arrangement for cooling the
console such as cooling the machine through a pedestal fan etc. But as
your Xbox already have E74 Problem, You can either send your Xbox to
Microsoft for repair ( just for your information Microsoft is no longer
providing Extended warranty for E74 Problem), Microsoft generally takes
3-4 weeks to fix the problem. If you can't wait for a month (I know
most XBox gamers can not wait without their favourite Gaming device),
You can also fix E74 Problem yourself and that too within an hour
without any technical knowledge. I would suggest you to check out the DIY Xbox Fix Guide for more information.
