Troubleshooting PS5 Turning Off in 10 Steps
If your PS5 is constantly shutting off, it can not only be annoying, but it can also be a safety hazard. The first step is to determine what might be causing the issue and then take the steps to fix it. In this guide, we'll cover 10 potential causes and solutions to help you get the console back up and running.
1) Check the Power Connection
The first step should be to check the power connection to ensure everything is secure. Make sure the power cable is securely plugged into the console, and if using an outlet, check to make sure it’s not a bad outlet or connection. Try swapping out the power cable and outlet for another if possible.
2) Adjust the Settings
Some instability issues may be fixed by adjusting the settings on the console. Start by checking the settings for the power, and turn the Auto-Off, Standby, and Power Save Mode all off. Other settings in the system and network menus can also be adjusted to help with instability.
3) Clean the System
Clean the PS5 console and accessories thoroughly, using a soft cloth. Over time, dust can buildup and cause device instability, so make sure to remove any dust on the console itself, as well as the power cable, HDMI, and other ports.
4) Test Other Devices
If the console is connected to other devices, like a TV or amp, try unplugging them and test with just the console and a direct connection to the power outlet. If the devices cause the system to turn off, there may be a compatibility issue between the two, which will need to be resolved.
5) Reset the System
If the above steps fail, a system reset might be necessary. This will take the PS5 back to factory settings, but won't delete any user data or downloaded content. To perform a reset, make sure the system is completely powered down, then hold the power button for 10 seconds to completely turn off the system. Wait 5 seconds, and then turn the console back on.
6) Run an Update
After resetting the system, run an update to make sure the system is running the latest version. Updates often fix bugs and improve performance, so having the latest version installed will help ensure smooth gameplay and avoid further issues.
7) Download Troubleshooting Tips

8) Reach Out for Help

9) Contact the Manufacturer
If it’s still an unsolved issue, contact Sony PlayStation directly in order to have the console checked and repaired. This is also a good option if the console is still under warranty.
10) Consider Replacement
If the unit is not under warranty, or the repair cost is too high, consider a replacement console. This is usually the most cost-effective solution, as it eliminates the need for repairs, but it’s important to make sure the issue is not a power or connection issue first.
