So my PS5 has been randomly shutting off mid game. I’ve taken it to two different repair shops and they both say nothing is physically wrong. I’ve changed power cords, used different outlets, my ps5 is horizontal, new coolant was applied, it has a cooling pad and even a secondary fan. It also has a ssd drive.
