Xbox Freezing and overheating

[grim hare]

All My Games Freeze randomly and when that happens my Xbox starts to overheat (It happens every 5 minutes)

So I can't play any games at all right now

It's an Xbox One S, not a Series S

My Old Xbox 360 works better somehow

From what I know that's generally caused by dust buildup. Could be a more technical issue, but we have a One S that overheated constantly until we cleaned it out.

Tutorials online for cleaning the One S properly

Thats against rule12 if u plan to open up ur console

[grim hare]

That is what i did to my Xbox 360 and it fixed the issues it had so i might try this

[storm mountain]

That rule exists for people trying to do anything wrong with it, not for people who deserve to be able to innocently clean their console built to gain dust and break bc of it.

I dont think it matters to the mods tbh

[storm mountain]

Cool. I'm giving helpful advice to someone wanting it. That's all that matters to me.

The rules don't care if you don't think they matter.

Please follow them.

Do not suggest console disassembly to people here.

[storm mountain]

I suggested the cleansing of dust to someone having issues with overheating. If that's a problem I will be dealt with. No need for replies.

In future please don't suggest this. Self repair of this nature is not anything we can advise here and not anything we allow others to advise

[storm mountain]

Sorry for the notification spam this has caused Jake. Hope you can get your situation sorted out.

[grim hare]

i have my notification turned off im just got to use a vacuum cleaner because i don't know how to clean the inside without taking it apart

[storm mountain]

I wouldn't do that lol

[grim hare]

why?

[storm mountain]

Vacuum suction could likely do more harm than good.

Look for better more professional alternatives elsewhere than here. You'll likely get better advice that can't be mentioned in this channel.
