xbox switches off after a few minutes

tried to reset it and also cleared the blue ray cache. Still switches off after approx. 2minutes into a game. Not only on Fortnite

Preparing console... *FREEZES DURING UPDATE*

If you're stuck in the green screen, after rebooting from a stuck preview update, try a cold reboot. Press the Xbox logo, so the Xbox switches off, then switch off power supply. Leave it for a few minutes, then start it up. It worked for me, but stayed on
the green screen for about 10 minutes before finally starting proper. Hope that helps.

 

Xbox 360 S turns off after being switched on

Hello, forum

My (almost) new Xbox 360 slim recently developed an issue: it switches off right after I switch it on.

The issue developed after an hour of Skyrim with the console in a well ventilated space. It just switched off. I tried switching it off but it went right off in a second. The power brick showed an orange light after the crash. I left it unplugged for a few
hours and tried again. The console ran fine for around 2 minutes (long enough to boot, login and idle at the home screen for a few seconds). After that, it would switch off right after being turned on. I'm not using a surge protector so that's not the issue.
I tried different sockets too. I don't have another Xbox to test the power brick on. Similarly, I don't have another power brick to test my Xbox on.

TLDR version: My Xbox switches off right after I switch it on (unless I leave it for a few hours, in which case it remains on for 5 minutes and then keeps switching off in a few seconds). The power brick shows orange after switching off. I'm not using a
surge protector.

Details: Xbox 360 Slim Corona; purchased in December from Amazon (2012 holiday bundle); ran fine with no issues up until now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Atóca !

Thanks for reaching out!

Try unplugging your your Xbox for 5 minutes from the power supply in the back of the Xbox.

Plug it back in and power it up... See if the issue still continues.. If that doesn't work..

Your Xbox might need a good refreshing.. and a factory reset.

Before we try that we have to make sure you know your Microsoft email and password bc you'll need to

redownload your profile back onto the Xbox and reconnect to your network.

Follow the link below:

How
to reset your console to factory defaults on Xbox One

Afterwards go through the initial set up for your Xbox..

Here is also a troubleshooting link for
Troubleshoot Xbox One unexpectedly turning off

If you know anyone with the same Xbox as you.. you might want to try their power supply on your Xbox to see if that's the issue.

I hope that helped!

Let us know!
