Here's Why Your PS5 Just Started Crashing

Here's why your PS5 crashes when playing PS5 games.. If your Playstation 5 turns off while playing, do this immediately! The PS5 crashing constantly issue can be fixed easy if you follow these steps.. First, go to your settings & make sure that your PS5 is set to "Do Not Put Into Rest Mode" then go to system settings and renew all licenses & lastly make sure that HDMI device link is set to disable. I also recommend checking your Playstation 5 power cable and connecting your PS5 directly to a wall outlet if you experience power issues with the console.

Bought a brand new ps5 a few months ago and have had zero issues with it at all. Hope no one else does! I love my ps5

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. All the other stuff said in this video is not going to help

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.

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

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.

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

I had my ps5 crashing non stop after no issues with it for almost 2 years. Only ps5 titles after some research they told me to open it up completely and clean the intercooler. After watching some videos and building courage I did it took me some time but once apart my cooler was clogged in certain sections. I cleaned it completely out I do have 2 dogs but not a dirty person. Dust will build up and pet hair if you have them. Now my ps5 has crashed zero times. Wish you all the best if you are having issues with it crashing.

I’m loving my ps5 so far. No problems but I always watch these videos.

Thank god you exist! I‘ve had this problem for about a month now and been searching all over the internet for a solution. I was really surprised that there wasn‘t a single video on youtube about this and I was overjoyed when I was notified about your video! I tried most of the fixes you mentioned and now I‘m going to try to other ones. I actually spoke with PS support a few hours ago and they don’t even know how to fix it.

I have owned my ps5 for over a year. This has never happened to this ps5. My first gaming system. I should also mention, I am almost 70 years old. I really like the ps5. RDR 2 is my favorite game.

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.

It’s so stupid, you pay $600 for a console and after about two years of use it starts failing. Can’t play any ps5 games for more than 10 minutes before it starts hard crashing. I have to upload all of my stuff and reset it to hopefully have it start working

[PIPPSTER]

I’ve Had This Crash problem for about 2 Months playing certain games and this fixed that Thanks Very Much!!!

[ShadowFlame]

My PS5 keeps turning off completely while I play Mirrors edge Catalyst, Dying Light, and Team Sonic Racing, as far as I know. I've rebuilt my database, I've updated the system software, and I've checked that my AC power cord wasn't busted, but nothing is working, I've only had my PS5 for about 3 months and I'm already having issues, it's really starting to piss me off, because I don't want to ruin my brand new PS5.

[manuellivongue]

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.

Personally with my PS5 has never crashed, but watching this video made me learn how my PS5 powers off when left on, pretty cool feature to add

Edit: There is so much drama in the replies, I love it

I was one of the "lucky" ones that was able to get my hands on a ps5 right when it came out
I had to turn it in TWICE to Playstation so they can fix it because it kept crashing while playing ps5 games
I never thought I'd have to go through such a tedious process in my life, it was so frustrating
Not only because it crashed once already but the second time I had to pay over $250 just to get it fixed?
I was totally baffled, frustrated, and disappointed because Playstation was making ME pay to fix something I bought expecting it work like it was supposed to?
The 1st time they "fixed it" I think they just gave me a new one
The second time they just gave mine back, I guess they added some kind of software or update that was supposed to help it? So far I haven't had any issues playing ps5 games but....
You never know, you know?
Also they gave it back to me with the screw for the ssd drive slot super tight that I ended up striping the screw and now I can't take it out, I had to buy a screw and spacer from Amazon
I was ready to give in and switch over to Xbox, even tho I've had Playstation all my life, from Playstation 1, still have the same psn when accounts were first created

[sxrvsvct]

I don't think I need to do all this for my console to not crash. I spent $700 and more on this console. I dont think this should be happening. I will never pay more than $500 for another console. I can wait. with xbox series x I heard too. crashes. and they expect us to pay this much?? I love video games and im testing my ps5 atm to see if it's the ssd I installed but like I said, shouldn't be doing this. it's next gen consoles. pathetic.

[Dooality]

To everyone saying it’s due to a dirty ps5 - mine is brand new and did this the day I got it. I seriously doubt there’s any dirt in there.
