    Xbox shuts off as I’m playing a game


    Hi guys recently I’ve had this problem that has seem

    To been getting worse recently on my Xbox series x, whenever I try playing games like rainbow six siege, Fortnite, valorant or marvel rivals not even 5 seconds of playing it my console just shuts off with no warning or message, I have it in a ventilated area, sprayed it with dust cleaner and have done multiple hard resets but yet whenever I play destiny2 the console is perfectly fine. Im not in a situation where I can just splurge 300 dollars to get it fixed or buy a new console so I’m trying everything I can to fix the problem. Thanks.

    :)

    Jurassic world evolution 2 freezes then shuts off my xbox

    Super upsetting, I can’t play anymore and I’m obsessed with the game. I’ll be on the game for five minutes and then it shuts my entire Xbox off. I wish the developers would fix this soon.

    Series x freezes then shutdown

    I changed it to never turn off , but I’m playing games when it freezes . I’m not just letting it idle or turn off after media. The console seems to freeze after 5-6 hours of playing , then shuts down and I have to manually turn they system again again. When the console shutdowns the controller stays on.

    Jurassic world evolution 2 freezes then shuts off my xbox

    Same here, I can play other games without any problems but if I’m playing JWE 2 for longer than an hour that’s when it freezes and my console shuts off completely.

    Xbox series X keeps crashing playing games

    I’ve tried each one of these steps today and attempted to play a game and still no joy as each times after about 5 mins of playing the Xbox does a buzzing clicking noise and then shuts down leaving the remote still on

    I’m convinced I’ve got a faulty Xbox, I’m calling Argos tomorrow as I only brought it a few weeks back on my store card and I’m not prepared to pay £450 for them to send it off to be investigated.

    Will update further
