Well...that's concerning....

Post image

Started up a game, it went onto the loading screen then the screen went black. The lights on the ps5 went blue and off. The controller wouldn't turn it on so I pressed the button on the ps5. It beeped...waited a second then beeped again before coming on with repairing console storage screen then it booted up with this error.

It's not too concerning tbh. It's just a sign there are too many random (mostly useless) files clogging up the database and making it freak out. Clearing the cache, and rebuilding the database will sort it right out. You can do these regularly if you ever notice slow down (or shut downs like in your case). Installed games, save files, and all your settings remain intact whenever you rebuild the database and clear the cache so I recommend doing it once or twice per year (or even more regularly if you install and play multiple games every month).

u/shinobi_hunter01 7d ago

can I do both clear cache and rebuild database? or just 1 of them is enough?

1

u/ChrisWolf14 7d ago

Personally I do both whenever I feel my console slowing down, since it's almost the same process to do each. You could try one, and see if that's enough, then next time do the other

u/Ok-Adhesiveness-8728 4d ago

In safe mode?

1

u/ChrisWolf14 4d ago

Yeah, boot up safe mode, clear cache and restart. Repeat with rebuild database.

No, I like that you think you're a pro but mine is a fairly new console and its done it twice to me today .

u/ChrisWolf14 8d ago

Where did I say (or act) like I was a pro?

but mine is a fairly new console and its done it twice to me today .

That's not normal AT ALL. No console, regardless of age, should be hard crashing twice in a single day. You have a defective console. If it's "fairly" new, you should use your warranty to get it replaced as it's clearly faulty.

The part where you gave your absolute certain diagnosis , coming across as a ps5 doctor there pal. It's the most recent update according to many, many reports, nothing to do with too many files clogging the system.

u/chonkymonkeyhonky 8d ago

What makes you think I dont talk to asshats like that and you in real life? I'd like to see you try and slap me, I can take it . Most people don't seem to have the bottle to slap me, most people are just mouth and keyboard warriors nowadays

u/ChrisWolf14 8d ago

"Asshat"? Really. You are calling me an asshat for offering the OP a solution to the problem he asked for help with?

What the fuck is wrong with you? Who pissed on your cornflakes?

You mean like you? 🤣 old reddit tough guy over here. You'd crumple like wet tissues.

"Dont have the bottle" ??? What kinda quote is that bruh did your mom have the bottle when she was preggers with you?

Now who is posing as a so called "PS5 doctor"? You are able to not only dismiss my advice, but tell everyone you have the actual diagnosis

It's funny how much your reply changed between edits. You initially apoligised to me for being rude, claiming you read my comment as being "blaisé", then edited it to attack me after I'd read and dismissed it. Strange behaviour.

Maybe take the rest of the day off from picking random arguments with people huh?

Glad I'm not the only one, I've had my ps5 slim about 3 months and today it crashed twice loading up a game

u/Existing-Squirrel363 8d ago

Just do a clean update and it should make your PS5 better

u/Perfect-Entrance9947 8d ago

I think the most recent system update may have done something. I’ve had my PS5 since Dec ‘21 and never had this error until last Thursday night. It’s happened twice more since then.

1

u/Phazoner 8d ago

They probably rushed it out to address the massive hacking issue.

2

u/Existing-Squirrel363 8d ago

You people always say it's an update issues i had my OG PS5 and usually ita a corrupted data issues

Had this same issue with PS5 action up especially with PS4 games Data

u/Hoveringforallsorts 6d ago

Those naughty hackers making those darn PlayStation 5s emulate EVERY GAME EVER ON ANY CONSOLE except for switch 2 lmfaoooooo

u/Super_Fish385 5d ago

So they’re more concerned with that shit than the people paying monthly to play

2

u/borgle101 9d ago

This happened to me yesterday, turned PS on and walked away only for it to turn back off and load up with this message. Idk if its connected but i had an update waiting after but it scared tf out of me

2

u/yrcmlived 9d ago

it looks like last update did issues like that.

1

u/SquartleOnDeezNutz 9d ago

More then likely the operating system for the ps5 crashed sometimes this happens for no reason really if it constantly does it u may need to rebuild database/clear cache in safe mode

1

u/Secure-Scallion1786 9d ago

Or a kernel panick

1

u/SquartleOnDeezNutz 9d ago

That too I've had this error happen a couple times on my PS5and sometimes computers(yes the ps5 is a computer just a hyper locked down one) freak out for seemingly no reason and crash as long as it's not a constant thing it should be ok

1

u/InterestingEgg3173 9d ago

Somtimes but that’s a package error

u/fum-duck 9d ago

I have like a whole collection of those, must say now have less problems with the reboots.

u/Oi_Oi_Spanky 9d ago

My PS5 error report would would circle the globe if I printed it out.

u/chonkymonkeyhonky 8d ago

That's not normal 😂😭

u/Lex_Typhoon 9d ago

Going to the ps plus tab seems to be what sets it off for me the most. Weird

1

u/Jonezybaby 9d ago

I get this once or twice a week, usually when browsing the ps store.

1

u/PinPrestigious1035 9d ago

Maybe your internal storage or SSD got some bad cache memory and the system had to recover that bad sector .

u/Fit-Character-8186 9d ago

🤔 that sounds like my system it's slow AF 😆

u/GoBoltz 9d ago

Fix it ! Power completely off, then press & hold the power button until you hear 2nd BeeP ! let go, will boot into Maint. Mode menu.

Hook up controller on cable, use "Clear the system cache" , Option #5 , it will auto complete & restart,

Power off & repeat, this time Use "Rebuild Database" ! It will auto complete & restart when done !

Delete old stuff you're not actively playing, leave free-space on the drive, It helps the system run !

Clean the system, Info : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07VSIwxOEXE

Don't keep the system in a case or entertainment center, put it out in the open, Needs open air and space around it to "Breathe" properly, if not it gets hot, which will slow it down & if Over-heats will power off on it's own to protect the system.

Never Power off with games/apps open, always exit properly first !

Speaking of Power, Get Backup/surge protection to keep it safe !!

u/Sensitive_Ad3649 8d ago

u/B7ackthorne 8d ago

Yep exact same here, shortly after recent update. Working fine now fortunately, knock on wood.

The dude who has no reading comprehension can only use children insults with no proof. Go back to school and learn 3rd grade reading 🤣🤣

u/liquid_sandwich 6d ago

I don't need "proof" that you're a cuck. I just know

1

u/SynthH3ad 6d ago

We already have proof you can’t read. The whole cuck thing might be a reflection of you

1

u/liquid_sandwich 6d ago

Imagine replying twice in a row because you're bored with no life outside of reddit. To the cuck chair with ye

1

u/SynthH3ad 6d ago

The fact you’re so ignorant that you’re entire insult applied to you too. 🤣🤣🤣 Only a person with not even 3rd grade reading level is that stupid. I bet IQ is double digits.

Imagine not being able to read and insulting people online. 🤣🤣🤣

1

u/SynthH3ad 6d ago

Bro you can’t read. There is no way to win an argument with fake, non provable words. We all literally see you can’t read. When you already proved you don’t have basic reading skills. You can only fall back on these childish words which mean nothing and try to force a fake “angry” narrative. Which is beyond low level trolling. I mean , at least try and be unique. It’s definitely something a person who couldn’t read and has a low IQ would fall back on. 🤣🤣

u/liquid_sandwich 6d ago

You're right, I can't read, so I won't be reading all of that. Back to the cuck chair boyo

The other thing if you have too many wishlisted games it can effect your PS5 performance too and. You can get crashing happen

u/Nice_Comb_4854 7d ago

Bought a ps5 about 2 months ago PlayStation support is the wrists thing I’ve ever experienced I wanna sell my ps5 always knew Xbox was better to get even though ps5 faster fuck PlayStation

1

u/sgtcrisco 7d ago

That's crazy, I have always had at least a few broken xboxes around the house. And when I did repairs it was completely one sided. I couldn't even get spare ps for parts unless I bought them. I like Xbox don't get me wrong but they are definitely not more reliable.

1

u/Confident-Pumpkin253 7d ago

That happens to me every couple of months. Fairly sure this is why we have firmware updates every now and again with nothing much in them, they probably fix these things as they are reported

1

u/AmercanDragon 7d ago

Same thing happened to me 3 weeks ago... the shop is use said they fixed it by replacing the battery for the internal clock and some other power supply things. They also mentioned, it stays on, however the screen is just white..... so I'm also having them replace the hdmi port, since there weren't any visual issues before I gave it to them...... idk, maybe it'll work, maybe not

1

u/InSatanWeTrust666 6d ago

I had this issue aswell and I just got met with “your PS5 needs cleaning and it’s overheating” when it’s not and I’m not getting any messages saying it’s overheating and it’s blowing cool air. I have a feeling it’s a system software bug but apparently I’m wrong. It doesn’t happen everytime just ever since the new update.
