PS5 Crashing, Freezing, Frame Rate Dropping FIX!
1) Turn PS5 off completely (not in rest mode)
2) Hold the power button down until it beeps twice to enter Safe Mode
3) Select option #5, Rebuild Database

[@Bolivar_Shag_Nasty]

Thank you so much. I finally had some free time and was having one of the best games of my life playing COD Cold War Zombies when the game froze and a loud buzzing noise started. Thank the halls of Valhalla I’m older and more mature now and didn’t throw my controller out the window and beat my ps5 with a baseball bat, sacrifice 2 goats and a chicken and then set it on fire. I calmly gave my tv the death stare and then came to my light and savior KZbin.

Thank you for this video. I just finished rebuilding my database (and cleared the cache just in case) on my PS5. The issue I had was that while I was playing "Ghost of Tsushima", when I tried to manually save my progress, sometimes the PS5 froze. I don't know whether rebuilding the database solved the issue or not, but hopefully it did. I also hope PlayStation or Sony come out with a software update to help reduce this from happening.

[@Pilki04]

@@run4fungaming557 I actually called support after I had got this issue. They said that the best way out of the situation was 1. turning off ps5 by holding power button on the console 2. When the console is powered down go to the safe mode and choose “Restart ps5” The support guy then said that I should do the database rebuild if I continue having this issue. It seems like I’ve got this freeze because I was having a game running when the system tried to download an update for the same game (the game being Spider-Man Miles Morales). After I had restarted the console I got “update installed” notification almost immediately
