There is a problem with your saved games... Bricked

I've been experiencing this issue ever since my warranty expired, as if my xbox one x was timed to do so. I refuse to fork over half of the original cost for something that is Microsoft's fault. I also want to mention every ambassador and agent/moderator
on these "there's a problem with your saved games" forums are completely useless. The most helpful advice has come from regular users. I'll attempt to use and external drive from here on out, but that shouldn't have to be done. Thanks for nothing, Microsoft.

"my Xbox One X has been Thermally shutting down"

Check the ventilation holes on the sides of the console for dust accumulation and clean them of any blockage. I use a vacuum cleaner on each hole after I have disconnected the power cable from the console. If you're using the console vertical/upright
you must use the approved stand.

Sorry to hear it. If the console needs to be repaired you would need to set that up and send it off. If you would like to speak with a Microsoft Advocate on the phone then you can go to the Support site and click on Contact Us then follow the billing path
to set up a call back.

If you're in the Xbox Insiders program you've done the right thing by reporting the problem. If you would like to see if others are discussing similar issues then please go to https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxinsiders/

"I highly suggest making the normal maintenance of replacing the heat-sink compound and thorough cleaning inside and out."

This advice is against the Terms of use. You should never open up the console as you will void the chance of a repair.

I had a used One X that did exact this issue. I was lucky it had 12 months warranty so sent it back for a refund.

I now have a brand new one which works perfectly, so unfortunately yours sounds faulty and needs repair.

Another option is to get a used one off Ebay or somewhere may be cheaper for you.
