Guess Xbox Series X is Dying and Don’t Know What Else to Do
Beat RE4 yesterday with no issues. Got on today and continued playing Skyrim. Skyrim all of a sudden started having these freeze issues and would unstick after about 10-15secs. Eventually I was like ok I’ll just move the game over to internal. Currently had it installed on my external drive. It stopped moving about 50% through. Tried to cancel it and figured I’ll just freshly install it to internal drive. Well it wouldn’t cancel the transfer and I can’t clear it from queue. So I did a hard reset and booted it back up and it still won’t let me clear the queue. Next I tried fully shutting off and unplug the power for 30secs and that still didn’t work. I assume my SSD is failing or dead or something cause all the games I have installed on the internal won’t boot at all. I end up finally getting a 0x8008005 error and when I look it up I just see stuff about restarting Xbox. As far as restarting the Xbox it restarts fine but I can’t do anything that involves the SSD. Any ideas would help before I call it quits.
EDIT: SMH…after trying No Man’s Sky on the cloud for the hell of it. I was able to clear the queue and RE4 started up. I don’t know what the hell is going on but it’s working again.
