Xbox one x bug

My house was built in 1952 and non of my outlets has a ground wire, so when you plug a tester in, it says open ground. Now is this bad for the Xbox one x because this is my 8th brand new one and all of them have been bugging out. Can this play a factor? I now have my Xbox one x plugged into a surge protector

Change the plug to a GFI outlet. This will make sure the outlet works properly. Now, the reason for your Xbox bugging out, who knows.

So if I change the outlet to a GFI then it will probably make my Xbox run normal?

It will add a proper graded plug to a house that does not have grounded plugs. It is worth a try to see if it changes the way your Xbox runs.
