Why is my xbox series x flashing its light at me 3 time and I have had this only 4 months

Hi Shawn W, my name is Daniel and I would be happy to help.

I am sorry that you are going through this problem with the intention of helping you, I am going to suggest you follow these steps. First unplug any USB devices.

Next, turn off your console completely and remove the power and network cables for at least 30 seconds. Plug the power cord back in and follow these steps:

Step 1: Press and hold the Eject and Pair buttons on your console.

The Eject button is on the front of the original Xbox One console, right next to the disc drive, while the Pair button is on the left side, directly adjacent to the disc drive, with a symbol that looks like ")) )" in it. . Note that on Xbox One X and Xbox One S, both buttons are on the front of the console, with the Bind button located directly below the Xbox button on the right edge.

Step 2: Release the Xbox button, but continue holding the Eject and Pair buttons for 10 to 15 seconds. Listen for two tones before releasing these buttons. The Xbox startup troubleshooter will appear shortly after.

Step 3: Select Reset this Xbox in settings and continue with factory reset.

I've got this same issue with my Xbox One X. But it only happens after trying to play Crackdown 3 the last month or 2. Every time I try to play Crackdown 3, the game gets strange colored textures and freezes. About 30 seconds after quitting the game &
returning to the Dashboard, the light on the front of my Xbox One X flashes twice 3 times in a row and the system powers down on it's own. It hasn't done this with any other game or at any other time for me.

1) I have the xbox series x

2) I had injustice 2 previously and the dlc on my xbox one for a year then switched to the series x

3) yes I have an external storage device

4) I have only tried reinstalling everything but it didn't work

Thank you for the response!

I have some clarifying questions. First, let me make certain that we have had the X-Box One S for quite some time and only recently purchased the Series S. Therefore, my account and the gamepass sub are tied to the One S.

1. If I make the Series S my new main X-Box, will my children not be able to benefit from Gamepass on the One S?

2. Is Minecraft multiplayer restricted to Gold sub members? And that is why my wife cannot play on the realm?

3. Is there a simple solution that allows my whole family to benefit from Gamepass with multiple XBox consoles within one home? We will likely be adding another Series S or Series X at some point, is each console supposed to have its own subscription?

1. No 2.why? and no it's just a unnecessary step to control the buyers 3.the online requirement sucks and makes me hate video games and xbox does the ps5 do this? 4. I "own" lmfao ya I know I've been wanting to play this demo for a while probably the only reason I even bought a xbox series x and now that it's finally downloaded I can't play why ? Who knows ...5. If the xbox series is so much more better then why can't I play a game I just downloaded? 6. Oh and why is there only a 5 times I can switch my "home system" ? I honestly play on my xbox one x more that is my home system why should I have to change that for a console that's obviously lesser...
