Xbox series X turns off after playing high performance games
Bought a faulty Xbox series X that turns off after a while playing Fortnite but not when playing for example rocket league (according to the previous owner).
I’ve played Fortnite just to be able to trigger this faulty and in the beginning it lasted about 20min before shutting off with just a beep sound and no fault code.
I’m able to start it directly after the shut down and play for a while again until the same thing happens.
After I’ve done everything explained below, I was able to play for almost an hour. When it shut off that time, I started it again and it shut off after 5 min and when I started it again it lasted almost an hour again.
The console has been cleaned, replaced thermal paste, replaced the thermal putty on VRAM and VRM(?), tested the capacitors on the secondary side on the PSU which showed to be slightly outside their range so I swapped them as well.
It does seems like a overheat problem on some of the components but nothing that will trigger the fan, cause the fan is performing at a normal state.
Because of the behaviour and signs, I think I will exclude the PSU as one of the causes for now.
I’ve order more thermal putty (CX-H1300) and will try to replace it again but this time try to warm the putty before applying it cause it was kinda stiff even though I made it into ”pancakes”.
Any other suggestions? Im kinda lost and it seems like no one else has had this issue.
