subject: Common Xbox 360 Errors [print this page] Reportedly, there are a lot of errors associated with the Xbox 360. Some gamers have even claimed that the errors they encounter are quite unfamiliar. But I have gathered the most common errors most people encounter while playing. Here are the following common errors on Xbox 360:
- The E68 Error.
This is probably the easiest error to sort out. This kind of error occurs when there is a Voltage error. This error usually happens when your Xbox is absorbing too much power from unnecessary attachments of several accessories you have connected with your Xbox.
- The E69 Error.
This kind of error is mostly associated with hard drive error. Or you might have a problem with your internal connections.
- The E74 Error.
This is one of the most popular errors on Xbox 360. Such error is commonly associated with overheating of your console. With E74 error, you may be having problems with your scalar chip which is closely located on your AV cable connection inside your console. Like I said, the most common cause of such error is overheating. Or it may be caused by the failure of your AV cable connection. You may also be having problems with the GPU which is commonly known as the graphics processing unit. (Also known as the visual processing unit or VPU.)
- The E71 Error.
This is another one of the most popular errors of Xbox 360. When you are experiencing this kind of error, it would mean that you have a "Dashboard Update Error."
- The E45 Error.
This kind of error is one of the simplest errors of Xbox 360. Having this kind of error would only mean that your console didn't update properly.
- DVD Drive Errors.
DVD drive errors would include E64, E65 and E66 errors. If you happen to experience such kind of errors, you might be having problems on your DVD timeout process. Or you may have a problem on the firmware installed.
- Hard drive Error
This kind of error has something to do with your internal hard drive. You might be having problems with the hard disk of your console.
Now those are the most common errors that many gamers usually encounter with Xbox 360. Getting familiar with such errors would help you understand more about what to do and what not to do to repair and avoid such errors to occur to continually enjoy the kind of gaming entertainment the Xbox 360 has given us.
