Kinect repeatedly turns on and off and and off

Hi I just purchased a Xbox One Kinect with the intent to use it to Stream on Twitch from my Xbox One. My problems is the Kinect repeatedly turns on and off on and off on and off all by itself. All the lights will come on and it will be working, then it will
just randomly turn off after about a minute, a few seconds later it will restart and turn back on. This happens over and over and over. I googled it and people said to plug your Xbox directly into the wall instead of a surge protector so I did that but the
problem is still happening. While it is on for a few seconds it seems to be working fine. I'm assuming my Xbox isn't getting enough power to handle the system and Kinect that's why it keeps resetting but I have no idea. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

:)

 

Kinect turns itself on and off repeatedly

Kinect turns itself on and off repeatedly

(I'm actually asking about this for a friend) My friend is having difficulty with her Kinect. The device seems to constantly turn itself on and off in a never-ending loop. Each time it powers back on, a message from the console appears saying that the Kinect
is ready to set up. When we go through the process, either

• The device turns off before we can finish, or
• We make it to the sound test. In this stage, the wavelike images are displayed on the screen, but there is no sound even with the TV volume up. On-screen there is an exclamation point and a message saying there was some kind of problem, and an option to try
  again.

These issues happened after unplugging everything, moving the console to a different location, and setting it all back up again (with no disc inside of course). We have tried the following to fix this:

• Unplug the Kinect and plug it back in
• Power cycle the console
• Plug my Kinect in instead of hers (to see if it's a Kinect-related issue)

None of these have solved the issue thus far. Any recommendations?

 

I'm still having this problem.

 

I found this post having the same or a similar problem

www.reddit.com/.../kinect_keeps_restarting_itself_even_after

They suggested resetting my mac address and factory resetting on xbox one. I did both. My Kinect is still restarting itself constantly.

 

Looks like it was a hardware issue the whole time. I exchanged my Kinect for another one at Gamestop and this one seems to be working fine. I streamed for several hours today and it stayed on the whole time.

 

I'm having the same problem, unfortunately my Kinect is out of warranty.

 

Unfortunately, your only solution may be to purchase another unit. Good Luck!
