I'm sure you have herd how fast the Xbox 360 gained popularity. The young generation is crazy about this gaming console. However there is a very bitter reality about the Xbox 360, it is usually affected by errors very easily. We can simply say if you use Xbox 360 for one complete year then most likely you will be affected by one of the Xbox 360 errors at least once a year
These consoles are very expensive so why are there so many Xbox 360 errors? Is it not manufactured with a good quality? Is there a problem with its software? Do I have no idea how to use this gaming device? These are very important questions, which should be answered by Microsoft. Well I don’t see this happening any time soon. In this article I’m going to discuss two commonly occurring Xbox 360 errors and their reasons.
Xbox 360 red ring of death:
Although there are so many Xbox 360 errors the red ring of death is the most common occurring error. The indication for this error is that you will see 3 red lights on your power button which is present on the front side of your console. These 3 red lights will be making a circle and this is the reason why this error is called “red ring of death”. This error is not going to go away until you repair the Xbox 360. The reason why this error occurs is because the Xbox 360 is quite weak in its heat sinking methods. Thus when you play games for long periods time heat keeps on building inside the console and finds no proper way to get out. This heat which has been built up inside the console is responsible for damaging the mother board and graphics card. As a result of this damage inside the console 3 red lights will appear on the power button indicating that your console is affected by over heating.
Xbox 360 e74 error:
The e74 error is another one of the most common Xbox 360 errors Xbox 360 owners will experience. The indication of this error is that you will see a black screen with white writing when you turn on your Xbox 360. The reason of this error is also the heat. In this error the heat video scaler chip which is attached with thermal glue loosens up and as a result the e74 error appears indicating you need to repair your Xbox 360.
