Xbox keeps resetting itself.

Skylar99 · May 10, 2023

When I turn my Xbox on it shows “continue” “Reset Xbox” “restart Xbox” Nothing happens when I hit continue, the screen just goes black, so I unplug it and when I plug it back up and turn it on it is resetting itself completely. I’ve had to log in through the Xbox and “set my xbox up” and it’s happening continuously. What can I do to make it stop? It just started happening. It didn’t used to do this when it was unplugged. It would just come back on.

My Xbox keeps restarting also I've only had it a year and a half ish it's the s model also I can't really imagine that it's my tv it's only a year old also and was quite expensive. I go on my Xbox and 10 mins later it goes black on the screen and it restarts
after that it does it again within a 1 min help and if I have to send it off to get repaired for the 28 days which seems more like a hundred and miss AC3 and Black ops 2 I won't be happy. Microsoft claim it will last 5 years, 5 years my ***!

Thanks for doing that Racer! So we have a disc drive issue now I see. With these compounding hardware issues, I suggest setting up a repair order. You can set that up here online (support.xbox.com/.../repair-process).
Please let me know if you have any questions about this process, thanks!

You could try manually installing the update to see if that helps. You can get all the steps and files here (support.xbox.com/.../system-update-help).
Please let me know how that goes, thanks!

Thank you. I’ll definitely try this and let you know if it works.

After working on it a bit some more, I figured out what my problem was. But first, I'd like to apologize to Microsoft for my sarcasm in my last couple of msgs. I thought I should suck it up and come back on and say whats really wrong, just in case others
have the same problem and find this thread. Its my TV. Its an older 1st gen model of a DLP, so its quite a bit old for DLP HDTV. Anyways, I hooked up my other xbox 360 to it, and it did the same thing to me, so I switched over to my PS3, and did the same
thing. I even tried using different HDMI wires, so I know for sure its the TV. And it makes sense, because the Consoles know when your TV is being turned on when you are using HDMI, so when the HDMI on the TV side would flicker or turn off and back on, its
resetting the consoles. Bummer. This sucks, cause a nice TV costs more than a new console (although I wasn't going to buy a new 360, just a pain to keep bringing my other one from one room to another). Especially a 50" TV like i have now. No way I can
downgrade a size!!! But in defense to my TV, I've had it since my first 360 which was about 6 or 7 years ago now?
