My Xbox 360 Slim turns off after I turn it on.

First, is there any kind of error code?

Is it in a totally ventilated area?

I would also use a microfiber cloth and wipe the power button incase there is some dirt in there. It is a very sensitive button on the slim so I would try to clean that.

Let us know how you make out.

No, no error code seems to pop up. It just shuts off as it normally would. Well, beforehand it wasn't in a totally ventilated area but I thought that might be causing it somehow and I moved it and blew air into the vents but it still did the same thing. I do not currently own a microfiber cloth but I'll be sure to get one because it would be good for that purpose xD I've left it out in a more ventilated area for two hours now. I'll let you know of my results when possible. Also, thanks c:

Keep it in a cool room , and leave it there for 2 hours , be sure to use it in an ventilated area.

Darknessx03,

When your Xbox shuts down what color is the light on the power brick?  It might be that your power brick needs to be replaced.

Solid green or solid orange light: Your power supply is working. If your console won’t turn on, try our Xbox No Power Solution.

Flashing orange, solid red, or no light: Your power supply may need to be replaced. Try the following solutions:

1. Try plugging your console’s power supply into a different electrical outlet. Do not use a surge protector.
2. If the power supply light is solid red or flashing orange, unplug the power supply and let it cool for 30 minutes. Then, plug the power supply back into the outlet.

If your power supply light is still flashing orange, solid red, or unlit, your power supply needs to be replaced. You can Order a replacement Xbox 360 power supply from our Xbox Online Service Center. Console registration is required to replace the power supply under warranty (the power supply warranty is the same as your console warranty).

I'm having the same issue.  I went through all of the steps outlined in the No Power Solution like Venom mentioned, I even bought a replacement power brick, but it still shut off after about 20 minutes.  I thought it could possibly be overheating, but I've had it in the same place for over a year and a half and this just started recently.

Hey there Cat! If your console is randomly turning off and you have already replaced the power supply, I would suggest a console repair. You can start that process here: How to get your Xbox product repaired

I got my console repaired AND a new power cable and I'm still having the same problem. I have a surge protector as well but most of my electronics are in it - is that an issue? I really don't have an option since it's the router, modem and xbox connected to it
