PS4 Turning Off Randomly!
I’ve had my PS4 Slim for nearly a year and a half now. A month ago, my PS4 started turning off randomly during games and even while it was doing nothing. I thought it might be dust(which there was a lot of) and cleaned it….tried the whole initialising process and also rebuilding database solutions. Sometimes I can play for an hour and sometimes it switch off within 5 minutes.Whenever it switches off, I cant instantly turn it on. I need to remove the plug and put it back on for it to power on. What could be the problem? Really need help. Thank you. :)
Is this a good question?

Mine is turning off as soon as a save file is about to load. Started last night in the middle of playing Cod WW2. Just shuts off as if power went out bit it didn't. Changed all cables and cleaned the inside but to no avail as well as rebuilt database.
A couple months back the 7.50 update killed my Blu Ray drive in the slim and don't know if it's connected. It's like Sony injected poison into my PS4.

My ps4 just shuts off randomly whenever i play a certain game, for ex: i was playing AW and it never shut off. But i play something like minecraft, within 5 mins in game my screen goes black and my ps4 shuts off. I restarted it, booted in safe mode, did a full initialization with my games and data backed up so i didn't lose them, changed diff power sources, put it in a cool environment with fans near it, updated the system and everything else i could think of. And it still shuts off on certain games, and sometimes even when idle. I honestly think its just run its course. I've had it since 2015 so i guess it has finally died. I would buy another console or just get the ps5 but im currently unemployed for medical reasons that arent important to this but just to say that i don't have the budget to get a new or same console. If there's anything else anyone can think of that i should try i would greatly appreciate it.
