Xbox Series X turns itself off

Hi,

My Xbox Series X keeps shutting down 5-10 seconds into a game loading up. I’ve tried reinstalling the games and a full reset of the console but nothing’s working.

Can anybody help?

I have had the same issue.  I found that if I had my controller paired and kept it active (just pressing random directions on the d-pad) it didn't shut down. the second I stop inputting button presses it starts the countdown where it shuts off 10 seconds later. Can you check this and see if that is also the case for you.

Are you standing it upright and on carpet ? If so put it on hardwood or a clean shelf

The vents with fans are ontop and the bottom is the outake and shouldnt be blocked

Carpeta will gather heat

I have the same problem. Some games could last a bit longer like Overcooked 2. Some just crashed on start.😞

All digital versions btw.

I tried different monitors too, no luck.

Unfortunately I have the same issue. The console shuts down when starting some Xbox game pass games. I have been able to play some games for a bit, but the console just randomly shuts down. When I tried Celeste and Forager I had been able to play for some longer time, but unfortunately when I tried to switch to home screen the console turned off.

Same thing happens to my Series X. Games simply freeze and then it turns itself of. And the cooling for it is perfect.

The One had an issue where you needed to plug it directly into the wall socket. Try not going through a multi-socket plug or any kind of power regulator like a redundancy supply. My old X1 wouldn't work properly unless I hit the wall socket directly.

I’ve had the same issue. I think it might be tied to the issues they’ve been having with xbox live as they briefly fixed it and mine worked like a dream, then it broke again and now i’m having issues with all

my gamepass games.


Hopefully Xbox takes notice and gives us a fix.

I am having the same issue. What's troubling is that they don't have this under their known issues thread.
