Why does my ps4 shut down when i play games?

Overheating is the most common cause of a PlayStation 4 shutting down randomly. The entire back of your PlayStation 4 has vent holes to release hot air. The sides of your PlayStation 4 are also ventilated. Make sure your PlayStation 4 isn't in an enclosed area, such as a small shelf in a home entertainment center.

How do i play games through hdmi on my tv?
Attach a HDMI cable to the graphics card in your PC (make sure it's not connected to the integrated graphics of the motherboard – that thing will struggle with 4K gaming), and the other to the HDMI port of your TV. Turn on your PC and TV, and set the TV to the correct input. You should see your Windows desktop.

Why does my ps4 overheat when i play games?
Your PS4 may overheat if the vents are blocked, or if there isn't enough clearance between the vents and other objects. The PS4 will also tend to overheat if there's a lot of dust inside. The temperature in your room can also have an effect, as can faulty hardware or firmware.
