Why is my Xbox turning on then off after 3 beeps

Michael Nyaga1 · Nov 26, 2023

I have an xbox one s. I once plugged it in and started to use it as usual then it suddenly turned off. When i try to turn it on,the fan comes on but not at its normal speed,it makes three beeping sounds and some unusual sounds then turns off. Why is this happening. I have restarted it,left it to cool down,changed the power cables but still no change

Hi Michael! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Xbox One S. No worries, let me help you sort this out.

It's important to note that this is a public user-to-user community forum, and none of us here work for Microsoft.

There could be an issue with your console itself since it does turn off suddenly. Kindly perform the following workarounds:

Change the console settings so it doesn't turn off automatically if possible:

Turn on the console.
Press the Xbox button  on your controller to open the guide.
Select Profile & system > Settings > General > Power options.
Under Options, select Turn off after, and then select Don’t turn off automatically.

Reset your internal power supply:

To reset the internal power supply, follow these steps:
Unplug the power cord from the console.
Wait 10 seconds.
Plug the cord back into the console, and then press the Xbox button  on the front of the console.

Check that the wall outlet you’re using is working with other devices.
Check that the power cable is firmly connected to the wall outlet and to your console.
Ensure that you're using the power cable which came with your console, and that it's the correct cable for your region.

If the steps above didn't work, proceed to perform the next steps using the link below:

Update for May 8th, 2021, today my Xbox has turned off 3 times in the middle of a game. My screen goes black and then the Xbox beeps and turns off. The controller does not even turn off, showing that this shutdown is completely irregular and not proper. Can someone at Microsoft please help me?
