when does it turn off? when you are in the middle of a game? or after a certain length of time from being on? It could be an overheating issue. Make sure it has plenty of ventilation around the unit. One way to narrow it down is just turn it on and leave it on the homescreen for a while and see if it turns off. If it stays on, then I would more likely believe it is overheating. Take the white covers off and see if there is a lot of dust blocking some of the vents and the fan and blow it out. If it still turning off might have to take it apart and checkout the liquid metal on the APU, might have a dry spot and some oxidation, which will need to be cleaned up and reapplied.

To add:
Try to clean it first and remove all the dust. You can find the guide here: How to Open and Clean a PlayStation 5
If it’s still failing, then please replace the liquid metal. This is not a easy job.
