I am a common gamer, but about three months ago it started to power off randomly during play. I started to remember to power it off when not playing, but it still shuts off!
Here are the details.
-the light on the other small box that connects to the Xbox turns red (sorry I can't remember what the small box is called!)
-it is well ventilated
-is layed flat
-is cleaned normally
Is this a good question?

Hi have you opened the console and cleaned it and replaced the thermo pasted sounds like it's overheating or the power supply is overheating. Try the console cleaning and try powering it on and listen to the power supply box and see if you can hear the fan spinning in the power supply if you can't the fan it's not working or clogged with dust and causing it to make the power supply to overheat after awhile and shut down.
