Xbox keeps turning off my devices how can I fix this?

williamhodgkin · Feb 22, 2025

I have a xbox series x and it keeps switching off all the devices plugged into the USB ports, which is a plug in controller, external hardrive and a dongle for my headset it seems to be when I move the controller a certain way I hear something switch off in the Xbox and the devices turn off simultaneously how can I fix this?

there is a limited amount of power available on the USB bus and you have too many devices plugged in. You may need to purchase a powered USB hub if you wish to do this.

but if your problem is moving a controller and having everything turned off, almost certainly there's a short inside and you'll need to replace it

Please look at this troubleshooting page:
https://support.xbox.com/xbox-one/console/console-turns-off-unexpectedly

Next, see if you can do a factory reset keeping games and apps here: Settings > System > Console Info & Updates > Reset console > "keep games and apps". See if that fixes this.

Your console may need a repair if if keeps turning off randomly.

My game also keeps crashing and turns off my xbox one x. I have tried all fixes and it continues to reboot.
