Display will turn black for ~5 seconds every now and then when gaming on my Xbox Series X.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Quakertoo, Is this happening only in some games or with all the games you try to play?

Have you tried any procedures on your device, if so, which ones?

Hi Georges, thanks you for the warm welcome.

It occurs with every game I try to play, I haven't tried much procedures, I couldn't think of any to do. Do you have any suggestions? I know my monitor's firmware is up to date.

The Xbox Series X turns itself off randomly to protect itself from overheating or when there is no power.The majority of reports of the Xbox
Series X turning off appear to be related to next-gen games like Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Assassin's Creed Valhalla.

So, I recently noticed that my Xbox Series X fan runs loud when playing Series X|S / Optimised for Series X|S games specifically.

It’s quite strange as it’s dead quiet every other time, but as soon as I start a Series X|S game, the fan becomes so loud that I need to turn up the tv volume.. it’s quite distracting.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions?

FYI - My Series X is a pre-order/launch day model.. and it sits in an open and well ventilated tv/entertainment stand*

In comparison, I owned an Xbox One S for three years and I never heard the fan on that.

I’m having the exact same problem now. The only time my Xbox sounds loud is when running series x enhanced games, it’s completely fine on old gen games. Have you had this issue fixed or is it still a problem now?

Hi, Georges. Neither game mentioned above is listed as an XBox 360 game. I'm currently trying to play on my XBox One-X (my series X is going to have to go in for a warranty claim, as it's turning on, but not currently able to display a picture ).

I believe that I had this happen with Spartan Runner on my Series X as well, and eventually I just gave up.
