I crashed in Demon's Souls today. First time playing it too. Entered the Nexus and talked to the first guy sitting there and boom.

Welp my PS5 is dead
- Thread starter Creepy Woody
- Start date
For the DualSense, if you feel comfortable about it, try opening it up and see if the battery is connected properly and if yes, simply try to replug it. If it's anything like the DS3 and DS4 the battery should be right behind the back-cover so you wouldn't need to take much apart.
And for the loud noise, check if the white collar-plates of your PS5 are secured all the way, there was another poster with a loud drive that had a lose plates which caused loud sound-vibrations with the drive.
Looks like the latest update unfortunately didn't fix my Database Corruption / Rebuild Database / Restore License issue ( CE-109801-9 )

Make sure you use the back USB ports. My front port won't charge the controller, at least not all the way. Also, as a test, make sure standby is enabled and the USB ports do not turn off after 3 hours.
I accidentally put it in rest mode with a game running and now i got the database rebuild thing, i guess this is the last time i use rest mode, no biggie now that everything is super fast anyway.
My high, drunk and thirsty ass tried to read this as some kind of innuendo, god i need to get laid.

Mine was kind of warm from playing Miles. Will see how it is in comparison.
So it worked out pretty well for me all things considered. I was provided with a replacement PS5 that is supposedly brand new from Sony, and I received it before I even sent out my broken PS5 for repair. Shame that I missed most of launch week but I was expecting this to be way worse.
As long as I don't turn on this PS5 and it end up being a dud I'll be pretty happy overall.

Had my PS5 since launch day. Finished Astrobot, played a bit of Miles Morales, Fall Guys, Bugsnax and now putting in some dedicated time in Demons Souls. Used rest mode the first few days until reports on here about crashes and what not. From there I just do a full shut down and I've had zero problems with my unit. Hard wired with only a Gold Headset dongle in the back. Also to note I did not transfer anything from my PS4. Just redownloading what I need including saves. Digital Edition BTW.
Are you talking about the back or panels? Panels its warm. Back is just hot.
No, poll threads get locked because nobody can verify if everyone is answering truthfully. You would end up with lots of fanboy votes on each end of the spectrum.
I'm having weird flickers in my main menu this morning:
FYI, there should NOT be 2 spider-men on the screen. There should only be one. and he should have red colors. It's like it split in two and the two images have different colors?
Not a good sign. I'm on the latest firmware.
edit: This is (tentatively) solved here as described here: https://www.resetera.com/threads/welp-my-ps5-is-dead.324451/post-52090991
As a result, I'm thinking maybe my TV has a bum HDMI port and this is not a PS5 issue after all. All glory to Dalto11

Mine put itself into rest mode again last night while playing demon's souls. Second time it has done that. First was with Valhalla. Just bizarre. Hope it is a bug that can be fixed.
How long is the warranty on the PS5 good for?

almost same usecase on mine, just have wifi instead of ethernet, im also using external drive for ps4 games (samsung ssd on closure). did not have any issue since last friday, digital edition.
honestly seeing the issues effect only some machines, makes me feel like these might be hw related rather than firmware. though os definitely feels rushed as well
Add me to the list :/
When I press the power button, the blue light flashes briefly. When I press again, the console shuts off. But the PS5 never gets to boot properly. Had all sorts of trouble when setting the machine up already with PS4 transfer, then the system reboot vis USB worked... and now that :/

This just happened to me when playing COD MP. First problem I've encountered since launch last week. It appears this is a common issue with COD, and not just on PS5 either.
The problem with this approach is you will essentially get a list of the most common PS5 setups but no information about causations, which is why you see people warning about super common things like rest mode and wired connections based on such anecdotal evidence. Like, you might as well ask if their PS5 is white and they used a Dualsense controller because those factors have been present in every failure thus far.
You would need to survey people with issues and people without issues, then look for significant differences between the two groups, which would take a lot of surveys.
Luckily I have had 0 issues.
Just to add to the use case: I have use a LAN cable since Day 1, on initial setup I had my PS4 HHD in a rear USB but then not do a PS4 transfer or whatever that menu was. I did however transferred a few games from the HDD after reports started coming out, and still no issue since then.
Only PS5 games I played were Sackboy, Bugsnax, AC: Vahalla, and 2K21, PS4 games were: Man Eater, Vampyr and Overwatch
Good luck to those having issues.

Ok, makes sense because I haven't encountered a single crash while playing demons souls
So with my EU PS5 it acted a bit weird on first boot, at the initial setup it hung for several minutes on the Media App download screen before proceeding and then later when I started Astro Bot the PS5 froze during the intro. I held the power-button to force a shutdown, turned it back on, it complained that it wasn't turned off properly but worked normally afterwards with no storage repair.
saw that singer Rina Sawayama is dealing with constant crashes and cant play anything which led me to this thread to see if this was common issue or not. guess its a little more widespread than people hoped :/
I only had one issue which was during a Miles cutscene, my console completely froze and I had to unplug and replug it. But that probably happened cuz I was downloading and installing a bunch of games. I think the OS got confused. This was before the first OS update post launch.
But zero problems after that. Miles played fine. None for Demon's, Astro or Destiny 2. Been working fine and quiet.

I had Demons Souls crash in the Nexus as well unfortunately :( I've noticed some lag/slow down in Demons Souls, and when I see that happen I sort of brace myself for the worst with an incoming crash. I noticed some frame drops a bit before and then poof, crash.
I know you're using the provided cable and shouldn't be having issues, but I would dry another port on the TV and a different (even if it is 2.0) cable just to rule that out for srue. Also try adjusting your HDMI transfer rate in the video settings.
Huh. Setting the PS5 4K Video Transfer Rate to -1 solved the issue.
I switched the port from HDMI1 to HDMI3 and I am not seeing flashes yet even with 4:4:4 now.
So you're 2/2. Wow!
I'd like to like and subscribe to your tech support channel.
I'd like to have the knowledge base to start a tech support channel lol. I am a hobbyist and tinkerer that learns a lot from others is all. It's a good thing that all of the ports on the C9 are 2.1, so you can use all of the features at 4:4:4. Glad I could help someone out!
I just had this crash today. Had to unplug console from power, then started it back up. Crash report and storage rebuild.
Just had my first crash as well. Booted it up from powered off state - external drive was plugged in - blue light flashed a couple secs then I heard a click and ded. System unresponsive and wouldn't turn on.
Thankfully removing power cable did the trick as it repaired drive. Good god I am now afraid to even play this thing anymore!

Aside from the weird freezes I had when first time booting my system mine has been rock-solid so far thankfully. I can play Demon's Souls and Astro Bot no problem, PS4 games work without a hitch and all that with a 2.5" USB 3.0 5400rpm HDD plugged into the back too, I hope it stays like this.
So, I have had my second "rebuilding database" crash in a week. Funny thing is both happened on a Friday, a week apart. The common element between the two crashes is that the PS5 was downloading things in the background.
I ruled out any heat-related issues by running the console really hard in various games over a week - to the point where I let it run for 10-12 hours in the Cold War menu where the FPS is unlocked when I was not actually playing. Zero crashes.
As a reminder, the first crash happened when the PS5 was downloading a bunch of things in the background and I accidentally rebooted my internet router, thus interrupting the download. This was a week ago. Today, I was playing Black Ops and went out of the game without closing it fully, so it was still in console's RAM. At some point one of the apps that I downloaded (Disney) started self-updating. I walked away for 15 minutes to find the console shut down. When I managed to restart it by pressing the power button on the console after the mandatory 1-2 minute timeout, it simply rebuilt the database and reported the error to Sony. Then it proceeded to install the Disney App update.
I am suspecting that there is some kind of overflow or memory leak issue happening when the system is multitasking by downloading updates in the background while there is a game in its memory. Perhaps it has to do with RAM or solid state memory management. For now, I decided to disable the automatic application updates to see if this will help. I am still very much convinced that this is a firmware-related bug.

Man, I've have no crashes or issues on either xsx or ps5 but I'm telling you if I get 2-3 of the same issue, ever, these things are going on eBay and I'm waiting for a revision and/or latest models-especially if it's hardware related
Maybe it's a flaw with the heat sinks and airflow in the system ala og Xbox 360.
With the extremely short supply and these issues maybe they shouldve pushed the release back. Did they rush it to market?

My PS5 just crashed and shut off while playing demons souls. Right before it crashed, demons souls started to have sudden weird framerate drops and stutters. Then when I turned the ps5 back on it forced me to reset to factory defaults and reinstall the system software with no other option, lost all my progress. I usually don't ever use rest mode but it was taking too long to download some ps4 games and I forgot about it and it had entered rest mode multiple times. I dunno if rest mode is the cause though.
When? Max's stream has been up for 2 hrs and he's just been watching a MvC3 tourney/talking about Melee.
