Hi all,
I've had an issue with my release model PS5 turning off, usually when I'm playing PS5 games, PS4 games seem to work fine. I suspect it is overheating. Has anyone else had this issue and if so have you resolved it?
I have the disc version. It is a release date model, so it is long out of warranty. My cousin who also has a release date model has the same issue too.
Oh ok perhaps the earlier release date models have probs with this issue, mine is just 6 months old so far so good.
I had to reset the software by USB. It happened again another 2 times. Resetting the software helps but not as a permanent fix. I rang Sony because it started happening a month or 2 after my warranty ended. £250 they told me it’d cost to fix through them.
I had same issue for 6 months. Clean it out. Mine works fine now, it’s also release modsl

This can be a number of things. If it says it's overheating, it's likely either clogged with dust, the fan is not spinning, or both.
If it's not overheating, we've seen them with bad chips that just die.
Just need to give it thorough cleaning. Google a video to show you how. Mine did it playing Ragnarok. Works fine now.
A can of compressed air to clear out the dust has done the trick.
It legit might be overheating because of dust. I’ve realised that my PS crashes whenever my central heating is on!
