  1. Xbox Overheating , Very Unusual?!


    I have an xbox e (slim) its a black one with a small power button , if you know what model im talking about , I've had it since christmas and no problems , then about 3 days ago , it got the "red ring" . On my xbox it just says "Your xbox is getting insufficent
    ventilation , you can turn your xbox on after the power button stops blinking" Then it blinks red and shuts off , I start it up again and put my huge fan on it , And now it's working , But whenever I take it off like 30 seconds later it red rings again , Should
    I take my xbox to microsoft to repair it , Is there something i'm doing wrong? Please Help ;(

  2. Set ups

    Very nice, I recommened standing your XBOX upright, all the vents are clear. I have never had overheating problems since i stand mine up. Tv is very nice and looks good the set up!

    disconnecting from xbox live

    > and my xbox is very hot

    Is there at least 2" clearance on all four sides plus the top of the Xbox console > If not, well, the console could be overheating, which will keep any electronic device from working.

    Xbox Overheating , Very Unusual?!

    As I can see your xbox is overheating. Im not sure but what I have heard that if your xbox overheats their might be thick dust on the fan preventing it from cooling it correctly or the holes that the xbox has for the air from the fan to escape might be
    blocked because if the air stays in to long the air will become hot. Or the simplest, that your xbox fan might be broken. If none of this works then yes you might want to take it to Microsoft so they can fix the problem.

  5. Make sure the vents aren't blocked. Try getting a vacuum with a brush attachment and brush out the top, bottom, and any vents on the console. Then get a can of compressed air and blow any small bits out.

    Is the internal fan working? You may be able to hear it or feel it blowing air about - if not it needs fixing by MS.

    If the fan seems to be OK, make sure all the vents are clear (brush/vacuum/canned air) and that there is sufficient space around the console to let hot air get away and not be sucked back into the console.

    is it standing on end, or flat? Whichever it is, try the other position.....

    Xbox one x "Hard crashing"

    How long have you had the Xbox? It's pretty unusual for that much dust to accumulate. Does the Xbox give you an alert that your Xbox overheated when you turn it back on? If not, I'd suspect it's likely the game causing the crash, not dust.

    Xbox has very unusual problem

    Hi there,

    My best advice would be to secure your account with 2 step authentication and to change your password, if you think it has been compromised. Xbox is a very secure service, and I say this all, to help with your peace of mind. More on the process,

    here
    .

    In regards to your console freezing, I would recommend a power cycle to start with (unplug router and Xbox from the mains, wait 2 mins for the network data to clear completely, plug back in and retry), and a master reset as a last resort. More suggestions

    here
    , via a quick search on the Xbox Support site.

    Hope this helps,
