If the cord doesn’t show any signs of physical damage, that is unlikely to be the issue, but a replacement is the only option if it is damaged. The latter is easy enough to check just make sure both ends are seated properly in the outlet and the power port on the back of the PS5. There are a couple of potential options here.įirst, the power cord is damaged or simply not plugged in firmly. Unfortunately, sometimes this doesn’t work as intended and can cause the PS5 to power down or shift into Rest Mode.Īnother possibility is that your PS5 isn’t getting sufficient power. HDMI Device Link allows your TV to turn on immediately when you power on your PS5. This is another very convenient feature that you may need to give up if your PS5 is randomly shutting off.

I used the SCRY Artic PS5 cooler, but there are other alternatives and while it does add a bit more fan noise, it had my PS5 back up and running at full speed.
