Your PS4 might’ve turned off randomly due to overheating. Make sure the vents aren’t blocked and clean out any dust. Trust me, a quick clean can work wonders!

Power issues could be the culprit. Try checking the power cord and outlet. Maybe it's time for a new surge protector?

It’s possible that your PS4 is having hardware issues. If you’ve tried everything and it’s still happening, contact Sony support.

Both overheating and power issues are common. I had the same problem and a thorough cleaning plus a new power cord fixed it!
