If your playstation 5 is shutting off unexpectedly while only playing ps5 games only, your playstation is full of dust and preventing air flow, my friend and I both had this problem and I fixed it by taking out the fan and deep cleaning the ps5 worked perfect after that.

it’s not just that, everyone is not just stupid they have legit claims. My ps5 that I purchased 3 weeks ago had to be returned and exchanged because I did not want to wait 3-4 weeks for sony.

[@dubdubdin]

my ps5 starting having issues after a week of playing MW2. After the 3rd week, while trying to load up into MW2 the whole system crashed giving me a system software error screen. After doing a full factory reset and a new software directly from the PSN website. It kept doing the same thing in GOW and MW2. The console ended up bricked after continuous tries and that why i went with the exchange.

[@thesuhailkhoury]

Been a PS5 owner since launch date and experienced this issue a year in, a super important tip that you missed is overheating due to dust and fur build-up from having pets or similar in the house. Following iFixit's guide on how to clean the PS5 all the way down to the last heat sync is what solved the problem for me, never had a random shut down since. Hope this helps someone out there.

[@fifcod4557]

I think this is the reason why my ps5 started shutting down randomly. I have the AC on all day but it still feels hot in my room. It happened like 3 times but the last time it wouldn’t power on after it shut down. I even tried to request a repair or replacement but couldn’t find my receipt. Lol

[@nateparker4264]

The main issue I've had with mine is it acting like its been unplugged sometimes after being put into rest mode, ill go and turn it back on and is has to do a system repair to make sure no games were corrupt. Super weird issue

What would be really useful is to have a systems check app....where you can manually run a diagnostic test on the ps5 to check every component ,if it is all running properly or if there has been any damage to the hardware or software and it isn't operating as it should ...this way you can get ahead of a problem before it becomes a huge problem in the future

[@cmoe1309]

@@jacobwilson9477 having apps to automate my thinking and do action accordingly is technologically advancing, why would people invent things to make life more difficult. But having an app that runs diagnostics on each component would be useful in a ps5 and in any modern technology, it will immediately isolate the troubled area. Same like pc has, even my phone has one that check components and test it at command

[@cmoe1309]

@@jacobwilson9477 just hear me out ? no, they do but just having the ability to manually check would be appreciated I'm addition I never had a problem running diagnostic tests and it being inaccurate and I'm sure they can add one to newer consoles. It is not lost on me I understand what you are saying but you also put words in my mouth ...I didn't say thinking makes my life difficult but I was merely stating a fact as to why do we create various technologies because they do the thinking for us to a certain extent while we can do something else this in all makes workloads much easier no . Just a small scenario, recently my old ps4 broke down. I took it in and they asked what was wrong I just said I don't know because there is no form of a manual diagnostic tool that I can use to check ...so they had to open the whole ps4 go check all components to determine the problem. So wouldn't it be easier and more efficient if you boot up in safe mode and are able to run a test to check?

If you have a problem where your ps5 turns off randomly with no warning and in order to turn it back on you have to unplug it and plug it back in I found a fix that has worked for me. I recommend cleaning the console out and standing it up sideways instead of vertical. Once you do that if you don’t already have one go to the store and get a mini fan that you can plug into the wall. Once you turn it on just position the fan towards the back of the ps5 where all the heat comes out at and this should work. My ps5 has been turning off randomly since like January of this year and nothing has worked. I started doing this a couple of weeks ago and my ps5 has never turned off again. Hope this works for anyone having this issue

For me I Had this around 3 months ago. But it was only for f1 2021. Played gran turismo 7 for hours no problem. It's a build up of dust around the power plug at the bottom. Once I'd got some compressed air, took the sides off, took the fan out, compressed air all the heatsink especially near the bottom, declogged all the dust, nice and cool now and hadn't done it since.

[@deagle7602]

Yeah it’s important to clean it once every year. Every 6 months would be better. I remember after 5 years of not cleaning my ps4, it overheated and would shut down, ruining the hard drive.

You have to unfortunately open it up completely and clean out the dust, it’s going to be extremely dirty inside the console was made very retaded

[@resevil5172]

Also its important to differentiate between there being 2 different types of console hard crashes. The one that is most likely hardware and/or overheating is the one where its like you just ripped the plug out of the wall while its on. When you start it back up it tells you you shut it off incorrectly.... yeah no crap sony.. Theres also a different error that I think is just software or game related. I have had this error twice and its only happened with Returnal, I can play any other PS5 game for hours with no issue, already cleaned my PS5 out as well to make sure its not dust. The game will freeze for a few seconds, then screen goes black with blinking blue light on PS5. When you start the PS5 back up you get error code CE-bunch of numbers-8. It will tell you there was an issue with the system software or application.This was a huge issue when miles morales first launched for alot of people that was fixed with patches and firmware updates. At least thats my take on it. Most of the people that ive seen have fixed their issue via new power cables or outlets, as well as cleaning their ps5s had the "you shut down your ps5 wrong" with no error code. If your getting a hard shutdown with an error code, I believe thats a firmware issue or the game you are playing.

[@JBL277]

I started having my PS5 freezes, the game haven’t crashed. I went to dashboard and it froze there and I can’t turn off other than holding power button for 20 seconds and then boot up and says you didn’t turn off properly.

[@resevil5172]

​@@JBL277 That sounds more like a software issue then hardware, especially if your games run fine. As much as it sucks you might have to factory reset your console and reinstall everything. If your system ever froze up during a save or system update, or a power failure at a bad time when its saving system data, it can brick software aspects of a console or a PC. However its def better then having to get a new console due to faulty hardware.

[@manuellivongue9543]

I had the same issue. The reason why the ps5 is randomly shutting off is because it is overheating. The fix is to clean the fan, the dust collectors and the heat sinks(do not unplug the fan because the wires are very very fragile, just put the fan on top of the PlayStation). Flash a flashlight inside the ps and you will definitely see the dust. You will need: A toothbrush A cloth preferably a microfiber cloth Toothpick A long very thin stick Clean the heat sinks and the fan with the toothbrush. Clean the dusk collector with the toothpick and the long stick. (After you remove the fan look inside and on the bottom right corner you will see some holes those are the dust collectors. Try to remove the clogged dusk from every hole). This method worked 100% for me and my ps is working fine without any shutdowns.

Hello John, I already bought a digital copy of ps5, and many of my friends advised me to avoid putting my ps5 into rest mode, i know there's an old issue regarding the rest mode, but is this issue still something to worry about or it has been fixed with serval last updates of the system?

And i tested out my ps5 playing gta 5 ghost for 6 hours straight and no probs and my ps5 was running cooler while playing those so i am 100% sure it's the game. More updates should fix it. I also noticed the 1st night it was fine but they did an in game update the next day and ever since the AI cant miss a free throw lol and its been running hot. Maybe those are connected idk.

I've had this problem before and had to get the fan on the inside replaced due to dust build up. I recommend removing the sides and vacuuming the holes and fan, after that place the console horizontally to stop heat from building up on the bottom. This usually lasts me 6 months until it starts happening again and I have to clean it again.

[@sofatayragaming9296]

Thanks John, I did have an adverse event of console lighting up with no image on TV, as it did not detect signal at all, so I had to power cycle by removing the ac cord on the back for like 30 seconds and it worked. This happened before I watched this video, so I confirm that this troubleshooting is legit. Oh and it would be nice if you make a short video on dust cleaning the console one in a while to avoid future heating potential problems by using something as simple as a gas compressed dust blaster or an electric one. They are pretty cheap and the process takes not more than 2 minutes. Cheers

I’ve had my PS5 for about a year now. Never had any issues, until last week. My ps5 will run smooth on the Home Screen, even idol for as long as i let it, and it lets me watch KZbin no problem. I’ll load up a game and it loads to the main menu but as soon as I click continue to resume my game my whole console crashes as if I unplugged it from the wall. Neither PS4 or PS5 games work. I’ve cleared the cache and rebuilt the database. Also took it apart and cleaned it and it’s still happening. The fans not loud and the console isn’t hot. If anybody has any suggestions/ solutions I’d love to hear them. Thanks.

After like a month, my ps5 started closing on its own for no reason and i didnt know why cack then. I started looking at videos like this everywhere online and nothing help. I contacted Sony and it seems that it was my third party heatsink that did not done the job well of cooling down my console and it damage my intern hardware. be careful with your console not to make it overheating, because for me it is what was causing the problem. fortunately, i had it fixed by Sony and it working good now :)

[@staples6]

I think some PS5s are just defective. I ended up buying a new one because of this issue as nothing would resolve the crashes, and PlayStation said they couldn't replicate the issue. I couldn't use rest mode at all because sometimes the system would just crash and have to rebuild the database. So frustrating. I sold my old one to a friend who was aware of the crashing. He was just happy to finally have a PS5.

[@jamesclegg8204]

Not sure if anyone still watching this video currently, hopefully someone has a concrete answer for my issue, I play snowrunner and after roughly of 30 minutes of play time the game completely shuts down my system as if I had just unplugged it from the wall. A few things I’ve tried was restoring licenses, rebuilding system database, none has worked, it only does it for this game only and the only reason why I can think of why it’s doing it is snowrunner has a mod menu that the developers support and I think the mods could be causing the problem, I might try to play with no mods to see how it works. But if anyone else has experienced this and maybe had a fix I’ll be active on here, thank you

I’ve done all the trouble shooting possible. Had a local company clean the system and also replace the fan. STILL I have this problem of my ps5 shutting down and overheating on higher resolution games (basically all games)I got my system day 1 from a retailer so my warranty is gone and I’ve called Sony and they refuse to do anything for me. Now I’m paying them $250 bucks for something I didn’t do for them to “fix”. Being a Sony customer for over a decade it’s extremely frustrating. Doesn’t make me feel better that other customers are dealing with this too.

This is good to know. I haven't used mine a lot and have had no problems yet. I have a 2TB Seagate Firecuda 530 with heatsink installed and the console is horizontal.

Clean it.. You will need to clean the heat sink inside the ps5 with an air duster, you will see big chunks of dust come out. I tried cleaning several times before with only a vacuum and brush and it would only temporarily fix the problem. So I went on Amazon bought an electric air duster and cleaned the heat sink and never had the problem again, been about 2 months now since I cleaned it.
