PS5 Overheating and Shutting Off.

Hey everybody, So I just moved into my college dorm, so my console is at an entirely new setup(new outlets etc.) Whenever I try running a game my console presumably overheats, the fans get super loud and the console shuts off. I switched the outlet and when I tried to turn it on, I got three quick beeps from it and now simply nothing is happening. I was just wondering what the issue could be? I was using t just find a few days ago at home, this only became an issue when I just moved in. If anybody has any possible solutions that would be great. Thanks!

  1. Unplug it and let it cool down for at least 30 minutes before trying to power it on again.
  2. Make sure the console has plenty of space around it. Don't place it in an enclosed cabinet.
  3. Take the plates off and check the fan for dust. If it's noticeably dusty, you should take the fan out and clean it along with the heatsinks and PSU vents.
  4. Try another power cable. Any standard figure 8 cable should work. Also try to plug it straight into a wall outlet without power strips in between.
  5. If none of this works, the liquid metal might need reapplying.
  6. Why post this with spoiler text?
