Problem With Xbox Not worming

[Pogboomx]

Hello,

 For some reason, ever since around 3-6 days ago, my Xbox One (original) has began to kind of glitch out. I will play try to launch my games, and I’ll try to even do anything really, to then have my xbox freeze up. The easiest way to describe it, is my xbox just stops everything, and doesn’t work. I try to hit the home button and my screen will change the shade, trying to open it but it won’t work. Another thing I should bring up, is the fact i had just gotten new internet. It has a “strict” NAT type and i don’t believe that would make my xbox randomly freeze. It’s updated to the newest update as well. All at the same time, when my xbox powers up, it seems to lock up at the green xbox loading screen. I’ve done the reset which kept my games, and other things. If you guys could help me i’d appreciate it greatly. I really need to save my money and do not want to buy a new xbox.

thanks

How old is it? If it's an original from release, a 7 year old Xbox one would probably start to be dying.

Yes it is the original xbox one. I believe this is the first gen too sadly.

Could be a failing hard drive.

How would I be able to test that?

Is it the original hard drive?

This article has instructions, but it needs to be a soft modded xbox. So  your mileage may vary.

I second it being the hard drive.

 

Since I'm assuming this thing has no warranty on it anymore, I would suggest just throwing a new one inside it. That or upgrade to the X. Probably just a used one though given that you probably don't want to drop that much a new one since the Series X is right around the corner.

If you are going to replace the hard drive, make sure you google the replacement instructions.  You can't just pop in any hard drive and go.  It needs to be properly set up, or it just won't work.  Also, do a thorough cleaning, including the power brick.  In my experience people forget about the PSU and they crap out pretty easily.
