Roku keeps restarting on its own
Your Roku is overheating or has a loose power connection. Both are fixable in seconds. First, unplug the TV for 30 seconds to let it fully reset. Then make sure the power cable is pushed all the way in at both the TV and the wall outlet.
Roku TVs restart themselves when they get too hot, when the power connection is loose, or when a recent update caused a software issue. The fastest fix is a complete power-down reset. Unplug it, wait, and plug it back in. If the restarts continue after that, the TV needs better air circulation or the power cable needs checking.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Unplugging the TV for only a few seconds instead of waiting a full 30 seconds. The reset won't work if you rush it
- Leaving the TV plugged in to a power strip with other devices. Power strips can cause power fluctuations
- Pushing the power cable in gently instead of firmly. It needs a solid click to seat properly
Signs you need professional help
- You've checked the power cable, moved the TV to an open space, and it's still restarting every few minutes The restarts started after a factory reset and won't stop The TV is getting hot to the touch during the restarts
