E74 is still caused by overheating except it usually has something to do with the visuals. Most people experience crazy visual problems onscreen before it finally becomes full fledged E74.
As to the reason why it took such a short time, depending on the time of the year, MS has many 360s that are refurbished on hand and ready to be shipped out. Chances are you are receiving someone else 360 while your actual console is still being repaired.
