Cannot Start the PS4 - Safe Mode Loop - How to Fix

In this video, I show how to fix the error "cannot start the ps4". Hold down the power button while the ps4 is off, until you hear 2 beeps. This will bring you to safe mode. Try one of the options in order to fix this. Update system software from internet, restore default settings, rebuild database, initialize ps4. The only one that will delete the data is the initialize PS4 option. Hope this helps! Leave a comment if you need any help.

Ever since I got Cold War my ps4 been acting up and sounding like an airplane

[@damodaking]

Me to I was playing Cold War before my shit froze up

[@Onyxz712]

Same but when I turned my ps4 off it went to safe mode

[@abldrx]

same it just happened right now 🙄

[@alexsoto483]

Well here’s an update my ps4 hasn’t turned on completely for 2 weeks it’s been stuck on safe mode and when I tried restarting the whole ps4 it didn’t let me and had an error code. I searched up online what the code meant and it said my internal hard drive is dead

[@alexsoto483]

I ordered a new hard drive I’ll lyk if it works might be the same problem cuz lately physical games have been corrupting the hard drive and Cold War was the reason why my hard drive is dead cuz Cold War disc corrupted my ps4

[@salty-_-1086]

I have done each one of the options and it just puts my back in a cycle

[@CallMeCamuran]

I just fixed it and most of my capture gallery is gone. I had so many great memories on there and they're just gone. I hope Playstation fixes this shit this year or I'm moving to Xbox. Sick of this.

[@user-zn1wp7cl5j]

This was three years ago my PlayStation is 11 years old I got mad that it did this but it’s fixed thanks to this video

[@jesusmoreno4146]

Yeah the restore default settings did more than just restart the settings. Basically initialize my ps4, I’m confused did you just really not know but acted like you did?

[@sandman4111]

It’s amazing that after 4-6 years this shit still happens

[@xxthabossxx5644]

I've had mine for 3 yrs and it just turns off

[@lilro7]

I get the cannot start screen and even after connecting my controller to the USB and pressing the PS button it won’t move past the screen, I’ve tried switching controllers and usb cords and still no luck. What should I do?

[@yhitsnoah_]

Bro fucking same but somehow I was able to take my disk out and put it back in by pressing the button and it caused my ps to restart now it’s doing that stupid checking storage status load wishing you luck brother fucking Sony man
