Ps4 randomly shuts down

Ps4 randomly shuts down

I am having a problem with my Playstation randomly shuts itself down. There is no warning nor red light. It shuts down like it was cut out of power. Powering it on immediately after the shutdown gives around 10 sec of blue light then it shuts down. What I do is unplug the device from electricity for a minute then plug it back in and it works. The shut down happens randomly. Sometimes it works for an hour or it stays up for 4-5. Though it never stays more than 6 hours.

I talked to the ps people and they said turn off your ps4 completely. Once completely off hold the power button until you here the 2nd beep you’ll get to the safe mode menu. Once you get there click on the 5th option (can’t remember which it was but it was something about re do database) once that’s finished turn off ps4 and unplug for 3 min and it should be good

Is there any signs of overheating? It seems the system may be getting too hot and shutting down to protect itself. Is the console hot (I know its redundant for you being in iraq)

If you're still having this problem, go to [settings] then [initialization] then [initinalize system] and click [full initialization]. If that does not work, go into "Safe Mode" and click [rebuild data base]. Also make sure your system is up to date with its updates. Hopefully this helps !

I also have the same problem and i left it for a few months…but then i decided to take it to a local repair shop and when i brought it back still had the same problem and i called him and told him about it he told me it was working fine back at the shop …maybe i should try a different house so i took it to my friends place and it worked fine…i came to realise that my house wasnt giving it enough power (even when plugged direct) so nowadays i make sure everything else is turned off before i start playing and it works fine….let me know if it worked for you

"Try just to turn it on and let it on home menu. Disable auto turn off and let it before you go to sleep, remove any connected controllers, camera or disc from console. Try to have all usb ports with nothing on them, usb sticks hub, and Ethernet cable disconnected, I would also recommend to remove it from any wifi network if it is connected.

If next morning is not off then it must be something wrong with power supply which cause it to turn off when is in load.

Hope this will be the beginning of your solution!"
