Does your PS4 regularly have an anneurysm?

Ever since it had a stroke and I had to reset the whole damn system, Lost all my game data by the way, its been awfully slow. Sometimes screen goes black and stays black for awhile. Games take longer to load, not always but often enough its concerning. And just now it had another stroke, having to download a file from playstation to reinstall the software

have you tried rebuilding the database?
JestAJester · 31-35, M
@Torsten yes. I had to factory reset everything and im afraid i may have to do it again.

@JestAJester I think rebuilding database is different to reset to factor settings though. I am no expert on it but I remember i had issues on a ps4 and I would reset it to factory and that still didnt help. Rebuilding the database did and you dont lose anything by doing it as in deletion of games or anything like a factory reset

@Torsten Well I originally went with all the other options before the factory reset, no luck. Now its asking me to reinstall Version 9.03 from a flashdrive, which ive attempted. Apparently its the wrong file

@JestAJester damn. Have you tried getting in touch with playstation support? they might find a solution or might just have to call it a day on that particular console sadly

@Torsten yah waiting on their reply, meanwhile im trying to troubleshoot it myself

@JestAJester My brother not long back was having similar issues with his ps4 and once he rebuilt the database, it all went away. Same with my ps5.
It would turn off by itself sometimes when trying to play Horizon Forbidden west and I rebuilt the database following instructions on google and it fixed it right up for both our consoles.
I didn't even know what rebuilding the database was till it was suggested to me
