So whenever I press start on a game, my whole Xbox shut down and I get logged out and then it hits me with this screen and I’ve been moving my Xbox onto bigger spaces and it reaches over and it doesn’t overheat that much does let me watch, YouTube
#my Xbox keeps on shutting down and logs me off whenever I press start on a game

Hits you with what screen?
latent flame
I don’t have permission to send a picture
willow ridge
You can write the error or describe it.
latent flame
Ok it says
This Xbox console is designed to automatically shut down to protect it from insufficient ventilation.
Like other electronic devices, the Xbox console requires proper ventilation. To help prevent another automatic shutdown:
•Do not block any of the ventilation openings on the console or power supply.
•Do not place the console or power supply in a confined spade or fully enclosed space, such as a closed stereo cabinet, or bookshelf entertainment centre, unless the space is well ventilated and cabinet doors are open.
• Do not place the console or power supply on a bed, sofa or other soft surface that may block ventilation openings.
• Do not place the console or power supply near any heat sources, such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or amplifiers.
Even set up a clear table on its own, and I put the Xbox on it

If it's overheating then make sure it's not dusty and the area around it is clean. Also make sure there's a minimum of a couple of inches clear space around it.
If it's still shutting down, then you'll need to send it for repair.
willow ridge
You don't clean the inside. That's for professionals to do if it's needed.
Which model console is it?
latent flame
Oh, you mean if it’s not dusty on the outside?
willow ridge
Which Xbox do you have?
latent flame
The original Xbox one and if you remember, it’s the Minecraft dirt block looking one
willow ridge
So a One S
latent flame
No
willow ridge
Yes
willow ridge
I don't recall an original model Xbox One that was Minecraft themed.
latent flame
It would be a bit more helpful for you if I could just send you a picture of it
Could I DM you it?
willow ridge
It doesn't really matter. Just make sure there's no dust in the vents.
willow ridge
You would see it.
willow ridge
But if it's an original Xbox One model, then it may be failing hardware at this point.
Yes, unplug it.
willow ridge
latent flame
Yes yes! That one yes
willow ridge
Yes, that's a One S like I said it was.
latent flame
Really?
willow ridge
Yes, really.
willow ridge
It's still pretty old
latent flame
Oh
willow ridge
Just not as old as an original model. 2016 is hardly new.
latent flame
Should it be time to get a new one or should I get a PC maybe?
willow ridge
That's up to you. But the One S is discontinued now and Microsoft won't repair it. You'd need to find somewhere else.
latent flame
Oh damn f
But I can link the Xbox to a PC right?
I can put in the password and email and login on PC with it right?
willow ridge
Well, that's your account, it's not linking the Xbox.
You're not going to get all of your games on PC. Only the ones that are Play Anywhere titles.
latent flame
I mean if I go onto the Xbox app on the PC and I press sign in and I put in all the my Xbox details I can login with better graphics and everything with the PC is that how it works?
willow ridge
Only if the PC you buy is of a higher spec and the games you try to play support better graphics on PC.
But again, you're not going to get all of your games.
latent flame
And Can I get sea of thieves on steam?
willow ridge
If you buy it, yes.
latent flame
I don’t know how much it costs because I usually got it for free with game pass
willow ridge
Then you can get it through Game Pass in the Xbox app on PC.
If you go to Steam you would need to pay for it because Game Pass doesn't work on Steam games.
latent flame
What if I sign in with my Xbox details on the Xbox app on the PC? I will have the game pass still and my sea of thieves?
willow ridge
Yes
latent flame
Because it’s basically the only game I play 24 seven
willow ridge
As long as you have Game Pass Ultimate.
latent flame
Yeah
thorn bone
If you sell your Xbox and just use Pc you can just buy Gamepass for pc. It's a bit cheaper.
willow ridge
the Xbox is broken, so don't sell it unless you make it clear that's it's faulty.
thorn bone
Sorry, I mean if he replaces his Xbox with a pc
latent flame
the Xbox is broken, so don't sell it unless you make it clear that's it's faulty...
and plus when i shank or even move it inside of the xbox i hear stuff in there moving
willow ridge
Don’t shake the Xbox.
willow ridge
Take it somewhere to be checked and possibly repaired. But if you have the money, I'd personally recommend replacing it at this point.
latent flame
Take it somewhere to be checked and possibly repaired. But if you have the money...
yeah my family's been struggling atm and we have been going through some stuff
latent flame
Take it somewhere to be checked and possibly repaired. But if you have the money...
should i throw it in the garbage then?
willow ridge
If it's repeatedly shutting down due to overheating and there's things rattling around inside it, I wouldn't use it personally.
willow ridge
Whether you do that or not is up to you. But if you do choose to do that, make sure to do a factory reset first.
I'd also recommend trying a factory reset any way to see if that helps.
willow ridge
Please stop tagging me.
latent flame
sorry man
latent flame
if i do that i would lose everything
willow ridge
No
latent flame
it say's Warning Resetting your console to its factory defaults erases all accounts, saved games, settings, and home Xbox associations. Anything not synchronised with the Xbox network will be lost. Your console syncs with the Xbox network automatically when it’s connected with the service, so if you've been offline for a while, connect to the Xbox service before taking these steps.
willow ridge
Did you read it all?
latent flame
no lol
nah its done idc plus i know all the info and im getting a pc in a couple oof months so i can sign back in on pc
willow ridge
Nothing will be lost, just temporarily removed. Once you add the account back on and reinstall your games you'll have everything again.
latent flame
and plus im to addicted and i need to have a break
latent flame
hey will i still have my xbox gold live and game pass when i log back in with my pc?
dusty warren
purchases are tied to your account, not to a specific console or pc.
when you log in to any new device (phone, windows pc, xbox console...) with the same account then you have access to all your subscriptions and games [if the game is playable on that specific platform, not all xbox games can be played on windows and vice versa]
