Overheating and shutdowns in summer
Why it happens here
Katy summers are hot and humid. Consoles in upstairs game rooms or entertainment centers do not get enough airflow. Dust builds up on the heatsink, and thermal paste dries out. The console overheats and shuts down to protect itself.
Our approach
We disassemble the console, clean the heatsink and fan, and apply fresh thermal paste. We test under load for 30 minutes. We also recommend a cooling stand and regular cleaning for upstairs game rooms.
