Just played Borderlands 3 for a couple hours then went to join Battlefield 5 and where it said get Christmas Cosmetics I hit continue and the entire console shut down. WTF. I’ve seen reports of this happening to Xbox. Hope this isn’t something that’s going to continue. Only other game this has happened is Anthem which is also a Frostbite game. Hmmm. ---

I am not sure if this is a coincedence but I couldn’t play bfv anymore. It kept loading maps. Hard reset and all and tried to install other games. Couldn’t start other games and it kept freezing up. Something with the HDD on the pro I think. I have to send it to Sony. Again not intirely sure if bfv has something to do with it but I read about infinite loadingscreens on this forum. ---

> [@hkspm123](#): > > did it brick ur ps4? No. It just beeped and shut down. It’s what was happening on Anthem. Anthem was causing PS4s to shut down. It’s something to do with the PS4 thinking it’s overheating and it shuts itself off. If you sit in Battlefield menus to long the fan will get crazy loud and I keep mine well ventilated and cleaned. When I’m in a actual match it’s perfectly fine and quiet. In the menus it goes from quiet to Jet engine mode. Why a menu in a game is causing overheating sounds like a Developers problem. ---

To be fair, the ps4 that I owned was in a well ventilated space and clean. I checked the fans multiple times. Zero build up. Rocket League: Sounded like a jet engine. BF1: Three fighter jets. Hellblade: Ten fighter jets that were just about to enter sonic boom territory. Bloodborne: My entire city block was lifted and moved to the opposite coast. ---

I’d send it back to Sony for a replacement if it’s still under warranty. It’s definitely overheating if it beeps 3 times and shuts off. It shouldn’t be doing that. [![Video: Overheating PS4!!!
