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.

Xbox Series X Turns Itself Off

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.
