Xbox One S - loud buzzing from TV then console turns off

CJ Lamb · Nov 5, 2018

I have a couple of Xbox One S's. One of them - it seems when there's alot of on screen activity (in any game) the TV seems to emit loud buzzing, the game freezes, then the console does a hard shut down. I can watch streaming videos all day long on that
device with no problems, but Destiny 2, Fallout '76, Hand of Fate 2, Fortnite - anytime there's alot of on screen activity, it freezes.

I've searched for solutions - I don't think it's uninstall/reinstall since it affects any game. I've cleared the persistent storage (I don't think that should have been an issue, anyway, since I never watch Blu-ray movies). So far, nothing has helped.

I do have a 1gb external hd attached, but it was doing this prior to me getting the external drive.

Thanks in advance.

Fan noise

I'm noticing a slight buzzing/clicking sound coming from my Xbox One S fan. Is this normal? Should I be concerned? It isn't obnoxiously loud, just very annoying.

Hi,

Try a factory reset, but choose the option to keep your games and apps.

I hear the noise all the time - idle, playing games, etc. The sound does not vary.

It is on a flat, stable surface with plenty of space to breathe. I placed both consoles on the same surface and as I mentioned the first one was quiet for 2 weeks until it developed the loud buzzing. The second one buzzed from the first time I turned it
on, not as loud as the first one, but still loud enough to be heard throughout the room.

Hi,

It sounds like an hardware related issue, is your console still covered by warranty ?

If so, please go to https://support.xbox.com/en-US/browse/xbox-one/warranties-and-repair and submit a service order request.

Good luck
