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

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.

This is exactly what's happening to mine while playing GoW Ragnarok.

Just tried restoring my licenses and shut off the rest modes and didn’t work and once again felt it and it was on fire so thank you so much for this idea

[geoffsaltz]

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.

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.

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.

I was playing 2k23 and it shut off been doing that alot

[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!

Yooo lmao @ 0:42 gave me PTSD😂 like “not my phone now!”

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!

[AndreColesPatientDre]

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.

[milozion]

I just ordered the black darkplates and the cool black skin to go with it. Thank you for the great video sir, I have set my unit flat out more in the open for air flow and lifted the cover for now and it's been playing for nearly two and a half hours without shutting off. Seems better air flow for the fan is key. Been using a couple ice packs too, hopefully they're not needed with the better airflow. We'll find out...

[Icecoldkennybo]

Yeah I had the original when it first came out over and it never ever over heated since I got this new one I can tell the difference thank you for this

[waynekieft]

I HAVE THE NEW 1200 MODEL AND ITS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN 20 MINUTES!!! SONY REALLY DO HAVE A PROBLEM HERE!!!!

[Dr.Gunsmith]

My PS5 is not overheating as iv tested it in many different ways and still turning off and it’s new and no dust issues in the power supply or unit, also I have tried it on it’s side and standing upright it still shuts down without any warning. Sony we have a problem 🙄

[MichaelPickering]

I had this issue while playing big ps5 games. I used an air can on the fans and I has a load of dust caked onto the power supply righer where the lower dust catcher is. Highly recommend checking the bottom dust catcher and making sure non of the holes on the power supply are covered. It's been about 3 days now and I haven't had an issue. Knock on wood it doesn't happen again

[JakeTheGamerMan]

If you have a vertical stand, the heat blocks the air of the bottom of the console. I took the stand off and it hasn’t shut off since. I hope this helps 😊

[ThatYeahTho]

I took it all apart cleaned it and it still shut off
