Get one of those duster spray cans you use to clean PC's to see if dust is clogging your system, if that doesn't work then hopefully you have a warranty on the PS4 to send it in.

Things you need to look for.

1. Are all sides of your ps4 open. Do you have anything against the ps4 blocking airflow?

2. Do you have it in closed cabinet?

3. The way the ps4 cools is it sucks air through the front and the sides and releases it in the back. Does it have proper air flow? Don't block the unit or put it in a closed environment.

Put your machine on a solid surface with good ventilation, and it should be fine. If it's not then call them and have them send you one or fix yours.

Take a photo of where exactly your PS4 is. Its easier to assist...and possibly eliminate certain personal/system errors.

Being saying it all along, ps4 is a mini grill and won't last more than 4 years.

When you wander out of SW, check the topic date, the rest of GS doesnt get as much traffic.

This topic is 7 months old.
