    Xbox one turning off randomly


    Hey so yeah as the title says, my Xbox one is randomly turning off after playing a game for 5-15 minutes with no error it just shuts off. I checked both the console and the power supply, both of them are never hot and my console is in a good spot with a
    lot of fan space, it's also plugged into a wall. I don't know why this happens it doesn't make sense everything is fine, this started happening months ago btw I left the Xbox unplayed for months and I came back to it, still turned off but somehow I don't know
    why but yesterday I put it on to download a game a got before it broke just to try it out for a couple of minutes, it took me about an hour on the menu untill it was ready to play (it never shuts off in the menu only in games) and I tried the game out, it
    didn't turn off at all I played the game for 1 hour and even played split screen with my brother and I turned it off because we were done playing it didn't even turn itself off, but now I try it today and it turns off like it always did.. I don't know why
    it worked yesterday

    Forgot to mention that it worked about 3 days ago too I played some gta 5... Sometimes (rarely)it works but most of the time it doesn't...

    :)

    Hello there,

    Sorry to hear you are having a issue.

    Please try these solutions:

    • Go to Settings-->>Disc & Blu-Ray-->>Persistent Storage-->>Clear persistent storage
    • Hold the Power Button on the Console while it is on for 10 seconds it should turn off. Once it turns off unplug it from the wall and from the back of the console for 3 minutes.
    • If the console is set to Instant-On mode, try changing it to Energy-saving mode using the steps at

    Thanks firestorm that worked! I already did the last two methods so I guess the Blu Ray storage thing worked

    Here are some instructions I found on clearing the persistent storage. Notice is says to clear it 3 times.

    Press the Menu button > Settings > Blu Ray & Disc > Persistent Storage > Clear Persistent Storage THREE times.

    Follow these steps to power cycle your Xbox One Console: 1. While the console is on, press and hold the console's Xbox button for 5 seconds.

    Let us know. Good Luck!

    Heya Hannibal J.

    An orange light would indicate your console is fully powered down. Be sure your Xbox One is plugged directly into a wall outlet rather than plugged into a power strip, If you have any USB devices plugged in, also remove those to see if there's any change.

    If none of those steps help please create a new thread and let us know so that we can best help out, as this thread is back from February and likely resolved. Thanks!

    It could be a failing power supply. That is covered on that page.

    Xbox one randomly turns off

    Mine must be an overheating issue. I have a small personal fan blowing on it now and doesn't shut down anymore.

    Everything works until the "Schedule a Repair" link. From there is just sort of stops. Nothing happens. That was close though That is the farthest I have ever gotten.

    The only option in that case would be arguably to take it to a Microsoft store but that'd be dependent on that option being available to you, everything else is done through the website in order to be traceable and avoid a situation being open to spoofing.
