Can your ps4 turn off by itself?
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.
