Xbox Series X Turns Itself Off? Troubleshooting Guide
Is your Xbox Series X shutting down unexpectedly while in use? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. At Salvation Repair, we’ve seen this issue before, and we’re here to help you troubleshoot and potentially fix the problem. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the possible causes and solutions to get your Xbox Series X up and running smoothly again.
Before we dive into the troubleshooting steps, make sure you’ve checked the basics. Ensure your Xbox Series X is properly plugged in and that the power cord is securely connected to both the console and the wall outlet.
Settings Cause the Xbox to Turn Off While it is Sleeping
If your Xbox Series X turns off after a period of inactivity, it’s possible that the settings are set to automatically turn off the console while it’s sleeping. To adjust this setting, go to Settings > Power & startup > Turn off after, and select the desired time frame or set it to never turn off.
The Xbox is Not Getting Power
If your Xbox Series X is not receiving power, it may be due to a faulty power supply or a tripped circuit. Check your circuit breaker or fuse box to ensure that the breaker hasn’t tripped or a fuse hasn’t blown. If you’re still having issues, try plugging the Xbox into a different outlet to rule out any electrical issues.
The Console is Overheating Due to Poor Ventilation
Overheating can cause your Xbox Series X to shut down unexpectedly. Ensure your console has proper ventilation by keeping it in a well-ventilated area, away from any obstructions. Clean the vents and fans regularly to prevent dust buildup.
If cleaning the vents and fans doesn’t resolve the issue, you may need to replace the fan. You can find a guide on how to replace the fan here.
Malfunctioning Power Supply
A malfunctioning power supply can also cause your Xbox Series X to shut down unexpectedly. If you’ve tried all the above steps and the issue persists, it’s possible that the power supply is faulty. You can try replacing the power supply, but this should be done by a professional.
If you’re not comfortable with DIY repairs or if the issue persists after trying the above steps, it’s recommended to schedule a repair with a professional. At Salvation Repair, we offer a limited lifetime guarantee on all parts and labor. You can schedule a repair here.
