The bad news is that yes, there is something wrong with your PS4. The good news is that its probably fixable. There are 2 likely possibilities:
1) If the power cord is loose when you plug it into the PS4 then that could be creating a faulty connection when the console is turned on and you are using it. If this is the case then you would either need to get a new power supply or find someone to fix the power supply. My business can repair most power supplies and there may be others out there as well.
2) Sometimes when a PS4 turns off randomly it's because the solder joints under the APU are faulty. If this is the case it can usually be fixed as well.
I hope this helps.
