BF6 Beta Crash Causing Xbox Series to Shut Down

So....it's the console, not the software.

That's what I'm leaning towards. Even after a factory reset which installs all the software to default settings the consoles are still crashing. Which only leaves hardware as the possible cause in my opinion.

Microsoft tunes the processor voltage on a per console basis during manufacturing. Meaning the processor inside each console is custom tuned.

The way some Xbox consoles are crashing so hard that the console powers off seems to suggest a voltage issue causing the processor to crash.

If that's the case then Microsoft is to blame for not tuning the processor voltage correctly on some consoles during manufacturing.

Here's a Xbox hardware engineer talking about how the processor voltage on each Xbox console is custom tuned during manufacturing.

Actually mentioned, one of the other things that allows us to do it in manufacturing, is to adjust each rail of each console of each SoC, so all the different voltages independently for that particular SoC. So that we can optimize the power on a per console per rail basis, and across different power states, and really deliver the lowest power console possible, still meeting the performance guides.
