    Xbox series x unexpectedly shutting off?? (Not power supply)


    My Xbox series x has been periodically shutting off, usually after about an hour or two, then every half hour or so after the first time. I purchased a new power supply and installed it myself (I have a lot of experience with small electronics, and followed iFixit’s guide to a t, so I know it was done properly), but it is still happening. What else could be causing this issue? I really don’t want to spend $300 on a refurb for a console that is still only a few years old.

    Auto shutoff is all turned completely off, and I have it plugged into the same power supply as a second series x which is working completely fine.

    :)

    Hello Nik F, my name is Oskayra, and I will be happy to help you.

    Beforehand, it is important that you keep in mind that this is a public community forum, so we are players like you, we are not employees of Microsoft or Xbox, so we do not have access to any user account or check anything from the forum. All users help each other with common problems.

    I'm very sorry for the problem you're going through. I was researching Xbox Support and found this article (https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/console/console-turns-off-unexpectedly)">https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/console/console-turns-off-unexpectedly) where it shows that The solution to the problem can be solved by following these steps:

    "Turn on the console.

    Press the Xbox  button on your controller to open the guide.

    Select Profile & system > Settings > General > Power options.

    Under Options, select Shut down after and select Don't turn off automatically.

    method 2:

    Console shutdown can sometimes occur due to system corruption, requiring the console to be reset to factory defaults. For information on how to reset your console operating system, go to:

    https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/console/reset-console-to-factory-defaults

    Important System corruption can sometimes extend to external storage devices, so disconnect any external storage (such as external hard drives) before performing a system reset and leave such devices disconnected until you can verify if the problem persists after the reset ".

    Thank you for your patience, I hope everything can be resolved. I will be attentive to your response. Blessings.

    Sincerely,
    Oskayra.

    If games have a catastrophic crash the system will shut itself off to prevent data corruption

    Titles such as COD and NBa are often cited, though that may be due to their popularity.

    Have you verified the fan is operating?
