Lumia 950 XL suddenly restarting, reheating on the processor and battery draining

[Windows Central Question]

The phone is restarting by itslef, and also reheated. To stop this I take the battery off the phone to stop it...the battery is always cool...what gets hot is the processor.

Never take the battery out! Make a soft reset (hold power 15 secs).
Which windows 10 build are you using?
Go to settings -> Battery -> Show apps per use and check culprits

Hi and welcome to windows central forums .

could you tell us since when are you facing this issue? also is the device able to boot up? if the trouble continues you can do a hard reset as the final measure.

Hello everybody.
I have the same problem since three days. My Lumia 950 XL overheats, screen flickers, green screen, restarts, and sometimes it turns off although the battery has some capacity left.

Hello. I have the same problem for about 3-4 weeks now. I was part of the windows insider program and I am almost sure it started after a beta update. Can I roll back to the stable version of the software?
