This pisses me off so bad can’t believe a system of this level is suffering these issues

[@blackice8043]

Right? I had my ps4 for years, and ran it until my ps5 was started up, and it had no issues.

[@itzNikkiCakes]

It’s so annoying when you’re in a great match and your whole system shuts down! And to even turn it back on I have to unplug it and turn it on from the power button. We paid a lot for these systems to breakdown on us in a short amount of time of having them. Hopefully your video will help wit my issue.

clean it and take the fan out if it still does it your heatsink is shot two options take to playstation and let them fix it or you have to buy a new one

Hey guys it's your heatsink man for the day 1 release or year old system the heat sink is outdated and are bring fried way more It's a common issue so the only two fixes is give back to Sony which is a 400 dollar fix or buy the new updated consoles sorry bro I had to buy a new one

[@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.

[@tobi2dope]

New update!! My ps5 kept doing this and I'd tried absolutely every hint that was in all these videos. I CAN CONFIRM that this works! I was trying to play the new Witcher 3 update and couldnt go 20 minutes before it shut down. I had already popped the cover and blown the dust out. Then I got to thinking about these dark plates ... I was gonna have to wait a couple days for them to come from Amazon and was gonna cost £40 so I was a bit wary.. so I popped the cover off and exposed the vents and just turned it on and started playing. Guess what? Not one crash!! In fact what was weird was while the cover was off the fans actually pushed this ball of dust out of the hole in the middle of the ps5! So yeah. If you wanna check this works before buying the plates. Just use your ps5 without the original plates on and see what happens!

My PS5 produced the first 6 months, overheats even on a cooling station, half off the laminated desk, plugged directly into wall outlet, yet only on the new MW2, DMZ and Multiplayer. I’m guessing a good air can clean job, and if that doesn’t work imma lay it sideways and also buy them plates. Great multi-informative video.

@andre Coles I just had this same issue happen to me 2 days ago. I've tried everything i've seen online and nothing has worked.

the quality of this video is ridiculous🔥

[@geoffsaltz419]

Standing position will cause major heat build up at power supply. Main cause for shut downs. Lay it down to stop the heat building. Major design flaw.

[@mrslimee2674]

Another thing you can do if you have a dust issue is just go around the edges with a vacuum to suck out any loose dust. You don't even need to touch your PS5 if your vacuum really sucks it will pull that edge dust right out.

[@Prodigyx419]

So I actually found a fix for my personal PS5 and the solution sounds crazy but its more technical than it sounds. I lay my PS5 flat now. I used to always have it standing up and ever since I changed it, it's been working with no shut offs. It has to do with the heat sync and liquid metal inside the PS5. Somehow laying it down has helped me eliminate the problem completely

[@BulletproofGee]

I had this issue and my PS5 disc version would shut off with no warning after about 20-30 minutes of playing any PS5 game. Each time it shut off, I had to unplug and replug the power cord to get it to turn back on. I initially did a basic cleaning of the fan and the area around it and was still having issues. I decided i would purchase a small vacuum cleaner and really get in every corner and crevice of the console before sending it in for repair after a few months of only playing PS4 games. After taking it almost completely apart i shined a flashlight inside of the console and toward the direction of the disc drive i could see a black plate/grate that was pretty far inside and had air holes that were completely covered in dust. My vacuum couldn't fit deep enough into the console so i used a toothbrush to loosen the dirt on the grate and then used my computer power duster to clear all the dust out. After putting the console back together I've been gaming for hours at a time and haven't had a single issue with it shutting off with PS5 or PS4 games; as of today that was a month ago!

[@chadbaum5838]

Had this issue too for a while, I turned it over to play it horizontally and have never had the issue again. I believe it could've been the liquid metal being offset so it made the ps5 think it was overheating and shutoff. Hope this helps for anyone still having the issue.

Mine was also doing this! I cleaned out the fan and vacuumed inside the hole, it still shut down after and then I thought I'd try laying the console horizontally- hasn't overheated since! My theory is the liquid metal fighting against gravity and ending up on the bottom half of the chip so it's not covered. Consoles in general have never had a great track record when stood vertically, ps2 was notorious for it! Also I don't recommend blowing canned air into the fan while it's still in the console, it will just force dust deeper inside making it worse long term. Unplug the fan and take it outside, blast the blades with the air but don't blast it into your console !

The console gets hot but I haven't had it say overheating or shutting down and I played 2k23 for few hours today and watched a movie and nothing happened.

mine does this everyday and it’s well kept cool and it’s literally only ps5 games

i suffer from the same I've done everything I've seen. with the exception of getting the panels mentioned in the video. was thinking about just playing without the top/front panel off. super frustrating

I even have the covers off and another fan at it and it still turns off and I’ve tried using differnet power cables, put it into the wall or an extension lead and it turns itself off when it doesn’t even feel hot sometimes, idk what to do

I remember when this happened to me I had the console after like 1 and a half years of owning it, I was saved, I knew I had something wrong and I cleaned it made it better did not work, I placed it on its side and it’s so much better never happens, I don’t get why Sony made the ps5 airflow so bad and wierd

[@Jvhrndz]

My ps5 beeps 3 times and shuts off, also i think its some sort of overheating problem since when you touch the ps5 its extremely hotter than normal

[@notme5328]

did you ever resolve your issue? same thing started happening to me yesterday

[@Jvhrndz]

@@notme5328 no bro i even opened the console apart and cleaned it pretty good and what ended up happening was that only on one game it was happening and if was on Fifa 22. So i just stopped playing the game. Console still felt hot but wasn’t shutting down anymore on any other game just fifa 22. I recommend you send it to sony if you still have warranty because i unfortunately did not

What do you do if it is stuck on processing and won't let you get to the point of rebuilding data base ?

[@mharden1107]

If y’all still having this problem with overheating your ps5 needs more ventilation. Lay it down and take the front panel off especially if you have the older model of the ps5 it might not be the most aesthetically pleasing but it works trust me the more airflow you have the more unlikely it would overheat and turn off.

[@jnogales]

wym front panel? like the little grills inbetween the white panels and black main piece?

Better tip: clean your console.

[@That1Thunderfan]

@@nothinghere6434it doesn’t work I bought an air cam online and a os5 cleaning utensil got all the dust out and it didn’t do jack

[@Loserstakethebait]

​​​@@nothinghere6434They do this out of the box. A dusty console will make it worse, but they crash at a room temp of about 74 degrees Fahrenheit even when clean. I've tested on 4 different ps5s now and if there isn't cold air blowing on the console and the room is around 74 degrees it'll overheat and crash. No amount of cleaning can change the fact that the original PS5 heat sink does not properly disperse heat.

Just happened to me now. I'm waiting 1h till I try to turn on again, pray with me.
