I had the same problem with my Xbox before! Turns out, the power cable was loose. Double-check all the connections and make sure they’re snug. Another thing that worked for me was doing a hard reset. Hold the power button for 10 seconds until it shuts off, then start it up again.

Hey, sounds like a frustrating issue! One common culprit is overheating. Make sure your Xbox has enough ventilation and isn't blocked by anything. If it's still happening, you might have a power supply issue. Try plugging it into a different outlet or checking the power brick for any issues!

It could be due to a software glitch. Make sure your Xbox is updated to the latest firmware. Sometimes a system update fixes bugs that might cause random shutdowns.

Might just be the power settings. Check if the console is set to auto-shutoff after a certain period of inactivity.
