Xbox Series X Power issue

Sebastian Peterson · Aug 25, 2023

When first starting up my series X the start up cycle will begin, the Xbox start up screen will come onto the monitor and then the screen will freeze, the power button flashes 3 times quickly, then it will restart itself and do the same thing a few times, then it just freezes on a blank screen after doing this a few times (3-5). At this point I have to physically turn the power off then back on again, and at this point it will either start the process over again, or it will just randomly work and turn on. Yes I have tried unplugging everything and leaving it off for a while and it is up to date in terms of updates. I am at a loss, i cant seem to find anything else like this problem, if anyone knows anything about how to fix this, I would appreciate it.

The rapid flashing of the power button on the Xbox Series X indicates that there may be an issue with the console's power supply or the internal hardware.

The Xbox One X is a more powerful Xbox One. It's last gen. Go for the Series X, as that the most powerful Xbox at this time.

Mine goes off after 2 to 3 hours of gameplay. Xbox ambassador advised me to carry out a soft reset on the console.

Believe it may be an issue with overheating. Both Xbox Series X games and normal games seem to be crashing for me.

Sorry to hear that. Have you tried plugging in the console directly to a different wall outlet without using power strip or surge protector?

You can also try this: Power off your console, and then unplug the power cord to ensure that the console is completely powered off. Wait 30 seconds, and then plug the power cord back in. Press and hold the SYNC button and the EJECT button, and then press the Xbox button on the console. Continue holding the SYNC and EJECT buttons for 10-15 seconds. Listen for two “power-up” tones a couple of seconds apart. You can release the SYNC and EJECT buttons after the second power-up tone. The console should power up and take you directly to the Xbox Startup Troubleshooter. Select reset then keep games and apps.

In case the issue still persist, the best thing to do is to request a service.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted.
