My Xbox keeps cutting itself off

Hi there Narlyflounder,

Thanks for the reply. I'm glad the article provided by XBF Erick has worked.

Please keep in mind, if the issue persists, you may need access to another Xbox 360 power supply, try using that power supply with your console. This will help determine whether the problem is with the power supply or the console itself.

Note: Not all power supplies work with all Xbox 360 consoles. Do not force a power supply plug into your console.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the help. As of right now it’s running and it’s been running for about 10 minutes or so. If it cuts off again I will try trouble shooting it.

Hey there Narly,

Sorry to hear you are running into these power issues with the Xbox 360. If you have not checked out the

Xbox 360 No Power Solution troubleshooting steps I would advise you go through the support article.

If you are able to get a hold of a spare Power Supply Unit I would suggest giving that a try to see if that's the problem. You would just have to replace the Power Supply instead of replacing the Console itself.

I hope this helps!

Cell phones and wireless laptops wouldnt cause the xbox to turn on and off. It could be a power supply issue. Try to find a buddy with an xbox and borrow his power supply and see if it works if KageNoRyu's advice doesnt help.

Some wireless devices can interfere with your Xbox,like cell phones and wireless laptops.Also at times,take a soft cloth and carefully wipe off the power button.Sometimes grease or oils from your skin or dust can cause the power button to falsely report
as pressed

The shutting off part depends on if you have the Auto-off setting enabled.When your console is inactive for a certain time,it'll turn itself off.

I hope this helps in any way.
