Yea it’s not an ideal scenario. My son and wife use the Xbox as well so moving it from the living room would be a bummer. I have a series s in my bedroom but have the X out in the living room for everyone. I’m gonna give a good cleaning like the other commenter said and I hope that fixes it. The Xbox is about 13.5 feet from the wood stove and there is a couch in between them.
Everything else works fine if the stove isn’t on at all. If it gets even a little warm in the room it cuts off. You mentioned some sensors that could be going off and that made sense to me. I hope it’s nothing too major and I can figure out what’s going on.
I will move it tonight into my room and see if it can run starfield or battlefield 2042 without crashing…if 2042 ever runs normally anyways. When I do the cleaning of the inside I should be able to check out if any of the thermal paste is dry or if there is broken soldering. Will check back after I test it out and then do a deep clean of it.
If it is the thermal paste or broken soldering how would I go about getting that fixed? I don’t think I’m tech savvy enough to fix stuff like that, but I’m great at following along to YouTube videos.
Fantastic. Thanks for the clarification and helping me out. I bought a little tech kit and some air duster do be able to take it apart tonight so I will update once I get in there and do some cleaning.
