My xbox series s starts to turn the power icon on and off without giving an image or any reason

Hi, Jorge! thank you for writing in.

The blinking power button means that your console is downloading/checking for available updates, it's normal behavior and should have no negative impact on your console. Once that is done, your console's power button should stop blinking and remain off until you turn it on again.

Are you experiencing any issues after that happened?

My xbox one freezes when I press on on of my friends icons it makes 4 images of there game card and when I send messages they look like t h i s and when I turn my xbox off it automatically turns back on can someone
plz help me

I don't have xbox one s . I have original one.

Since last update or maybe 1 month max. Anytime I switch let say from a game to youtube and go back to a game the screen is black and if I quit game by pressing start on game icon and quit and try to start it my xbox turn off automatically and restart.

Same if I play a game turn off my xbox come back later as soon as I'll press the game icon to continue (xbix is on instant on mode) it will be black I can hear sounds but cannot do anything and xbox will restart . But if I just play without changing app
or coming back to the same game it will be fine in can play 10 hours in a row bo prob.

Possible Fixes:

1. Remove power from your Xbox Series X or S. First hold down the power button to make sure it’s actually off, then unplug the power cable. Leave the cable unplugged for about 30 seconds to a minute, then plug it back in. Check to see if the Xbox will turn on.
   
2. Power cycle your Xbox Series X or S. This is similar to the first step, but it goes a bit further. Push and hold the power to make sure the console is off. Then unplug the console from power and leave it alone for about 20 to 30 minutes. Finally, plug it back in and turn the power back on to see if it works.
   
3. Check the power outlet. Try plugging a lamp or any other working electronic device into the outlet you use for your Xbox console. If it doesn’t turn on, your outlet may be bad. Try plugging your console into a different outlet. If you’re using a power strip, try plugging your console directly into the wall, or switch to a different power strip.
   
4. Try a different power cable. Both the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S have internal power supplies that you plug a power cable into. If you have an identical power cable from another electronic device, try swapping the Xbox power cable for another identical one. If the console powers up, you have a bad power cable.
