Intermittent HDMI signal / Snowy screen

Hey everyone!

We have previously received reports that the intermittent flashing "snowy" screen issue has been resolved. If you are experiencing a different issue besides the snowy flashing screen, please create a new thread. This way you can receive support specifically
tailored to you. Be sure to include the details of the issue as well as any troubleshooting steps that you have tried. If you are continuing to experience a snowy screen, make sure that you try the following troubleshooting steps below:

• From the Dashboard, Press the Menu button on your Xbox One controller.
• Select Settings and then Disc & Blu-ray.
• Select Persistent Storage and then select Clear Persistent Storage.
• Press and hold the power button on your Xbox One console for 5 seconds.
• Once your console is powered off, unplug the power cable and HDMI cord.
• Wait 5 minutes and then plug in your console and HDMI cord.
• Power on your console and check to see if you are experiencing the intermittent flashing issue.
  

If after trying the listed steps, the issue continues to occur, try the following:

• If your HDMI cord is not directly plugged into your TV, try plugging the cord directly into your TV.
  
• Try using a different HDMI cord.
• If possible try plugging your HDMI cable into a different HDMI port on your TV.
  
• Try resetting your display settings by pressing and holding the Power button for 5 seconds to power off your console.
  
• Press and hold the Power button and the Eject button until you hear a beep to turn on your console.
  

If you are experiencing a snowy flashing screen, give the suggested steps a try and let us know how it goes.

I would just try another known good HDMI cable. The point behind HDMI was so that "official" cabling would never be needed. I have seen issues with bad HDMI cabling causing either no signal or intermittent signal as you describe.

I'm having the same issue. When the Xbox One S is set to 8 bit my Vizio M65-D0 will intermittently produce a "Snowy" screen and I have to change inputs in order to clear it. On the 10 bit and 12 bit settings it intermittently will produce a "Black" screen
that clears itself in a few seconds. This has happened both when streaming content from Amazon and while playing games.

I just got my xbox one x (Sept 30th 2018). After doing the initial updates once booted everything seemed fine that day. Now I'm getting the snowy screen that flashes on and off. The console will probably work for about an hour. I have to unplug HDMI and
re-plug in order to get screen back. Why hasn't Microsoft responded to this post?????

I got the same thing yesterday on xbox one x. Only way I find to fix it is to unplug the hdmi cable on the back of the unit and once I plug it back in its ok. I do believe its got something to do with the update. Seems to be happening to a lot of people.

From what I read none of the solutions people are doing seems to stop the issue.

Unplugging it is a quick fix but not a solution. I hope Microsoft fixes is soon.
