What can cause xbox overheated problems?

You're in the middle of a battle and gaining so much momentum going for the kill, when all of the sudden everthing on the screen disappears and becomes unplayable. When you try to touch the xbox console, you could hardly hold its case for long because it was too hot to touch. That's the time you realized your xbox overheated.


There are many reasons behind an xbox 360 overheating. Playing for several hours straight is one simple way of getting your console past the normal heat temperature.


Placing your xbox 360 in an area with low or poor ventilation is also another culprit. Just like every appliance and machines, your game console has a casing that's designed with holes in order to let out the heat it accumulates while being played.


A defective or deteriorating cooling system is another probable cause for xbox 360 to overheat. Getting too much dust on the fan will definitely shorten its life.


preventive measures to avoid having your xbox overheated

Place your xbox 360 in a comfortable position, away from other gears thatxbox overheated: what makes it catch too much steam? may dissipate heat next to it.


Keeping your xbox cool means you must give it time to cool down after playing it for some time. Take this time to cool yourself as well! :)


A well maintained xbox console is a healthy one. Cleaning the case for clogged holes would help ensure that excessive heat is being blown out efficiently. ALso, take time to remove dust from the cooling fan, or you may want to install some more cooling fan yourself. This and other simple maintenance will help make sure an xbox overheated scenario never happens.
