There was a thread on GSXR junkies on this, some guy on there repairs them. He said the RROD error was caused by the unit over heating, its supposed to be better now than it was, he said it was carp bit of design and the airflow doesnt get through the box to cool the chips on the mainboard for the graphics ( I think )

Microsoft's extension of the warranty to three years only covers the "red ring of death" general hardware failure, not error E74 or other such errors featuring only one flashing red light on the ring piece indicator, or video errors not accompanied with the "red ring of death".
Out of warranty repair service is available for a price, which comes with a one year warranty. All repairs provide a one year warranty from the date of repair, or continuation of the original warranty (whichever is longer
Depends what actually causes it
