Forums - Microsoft - WTF is my xbox doing?

Okay what's happening is it keeps turning on and off. I'll turn it off and then like three minutes later it turn's on. That isn't too terrible because I can just unplug it but, what happens when i'm playing is what get's me. It will just turn off for no good reason. Does anybody know how to fix this?

It's Y2K all over again!

But seriously, that sounds freaky.



This will only take a moment of your time. *steals your watch*

I'm not sure, that's really weird. I can't even imagine what the problem is.

Do you use a universal remote for your 360?



@twesterm

Nope, Just controllers.



Maybe the power button is stuck and sometimes turns if on/off

Take the batteries out of your controller and see if it continues to happen then.  Also, make sure the power button on the 360 itself isn't stuck.



What color is the light on the power brick? Does it turn red right as it is turning off?
