If your Xbox is overheating, it may start making strange noises or shutting down unexpectedly. Here are four ways to tell if your Xbox is overheating:

  1. Check the temperature gauge on the front of the console. If it’s getting too hot, the console will start making strange noises and shutting down unexpectedly.
  2. If you’re playing a game and the console starts to overheat, you may see black spots on the screen or hear a popping noise.
  3. If you’re using an Xbox One controller, check that it’s not too hot to hold. If it is, it may stop working properly due to heat damage.
  4. If all else fails, unplug your Xbox and let it cool down for a few minutes before trying to power it back on again. ..
