"E74: There is high chance it's a scaler chip problem (the "ANA" or "HANA" chip near the AV cable connection) it can also be caused by a faulty AV cable so check that first. In some cases it is a problem with the GPU and may be repairable by doing the x-clamp replacement (see error 0102)"
Try a new A/V cable. If not, try the X-Clamp fix. If all else fails, it needs to be replaced except now you're out of the warranty...

thx kicks im trying the x-clamp rite now do i have to buy the paste to replace the old stuff? the av cables are fine i have two of them including one my friend is letting me borrow. do i have to wrap my 360 in towels when i let it bake

NOOOOOOO! No baking, like you said this is acidmods not barbies kitchen...lol Kicks mentioned it being a scalar issue, and I have seen the same thing amongst a plethura of other issues. If you do the x clamp replacements, you must change your paste. If you are handy with a soldering iron, I would first try to rework the ANA or HANA chip that kicks suggested.
I wouldn't mess with x-clamp replacement until you have tried every thing else you can(I won't hurt, as long as you are careful and use proper technique) Since it isn't RROD yet I wouldn't overheat anything as of now until you try the rework.
To rework ANA chip you can use a hot air gun(just hit the leads of the chip till the solder yellows a bit), or just wet all pins with a ton of solder so they all bridge then use a solder wick or a solder sucker to remove the the excess so it isn't bridged any more.

i can repair e74 long as you dont mess it up.

thx guys it turns out the paste i replaced it i didnt bake it and i also did the penny trick when you stick a stack of pennys in between the GPu cover and the chip so it stays in place
