Perhaps the heat? As for the case you described, no, it is still the hard drive. I cannot really be totally sure without diagnosing the hard drive myself. May someone benefit from it. They were almost instant.
Then my Ps4 started to freeze on the menu and continued, but then, it froze up and i had to disconnect my cable. Oh, and last month my PS4 after checking storage told me to reinstall via usb, i selected cancel and it booted up normally. If you suffer from power surges, you better go for an SSD. You can perform a FULL format first and check its health again. Otherwise, in many cases this will fix bad sectors and other issues.
My PS4 has been displaying weird colors and tears in the screen. This only happens on some games. Any idea what is causing this? Will a faulty VGA also cause a game to crash? Is this the VGA causing this also. Thanks for your articles. But within an hour tonight I had two errors again. Hi Tom. Any experienced technician can fix this issue. Hey there PS4 Storage, stumbled upon your article by chance, and maybe you can help me out. My PS4 gets stuck in a boot up loop, it starts up normally with the white light, I get to the white PS4 logo with black background as the light goes to blue, then I hear two clicks and the cycle starts again.
A very good friend of mine is really in to PC, so he looked at it and thought it might be the hard drive. Seen or heard of anything like this before? Yes, I have seen this problem before and the culprit was the hard drive. There were bad sectors that caused that situation. You will need to install the PS4 system software from scratch.
It can be a defect in the motherboard. Please provide us with your feedback on our suggested solution. This will definitely help other users and ease their lives. Most probably bad sectors have occurred in your hard drive. Just FULL-format it then check. Please provide us with your feedback on this solution, this will help other readers and save their times. I havent tried a full format before but willing to give it a go, are you able to provide any tips or a link to a video haha, thanks again.
Thanks for the link, appreciate the help! Do you know what the cable is called that i need to connect the HDD? You can get an external hard drive enclosure for this operation. Hey mate, finally got my cable haha, trying to do a full format but all the options are greyed out?
Why do you think that might be? Thanks for the quick help and reply, which volume do i have to delete? I tried uploading a SS of my disk management but couldnt work out how to,. Delete it then format. You can upload your screenshot on any image hosting and send us the URL in your comment. Ah I see now. You have to delete all volumes first until it becomes one unallocated volume that occupies all the storage space of the hard drive. Then, right click this unallocated volume and use the FULL size of it.
Afterwards, format it as I illustrated previously. Hope I am clear enough on that. My PS4 is giving me errors and saying the database is corrupt. Last code is CE I play 2K19 a lot and it keeps giving me corrupted errors. Do I need to replace the hard drive? Please check this post for a fix for this error. Sometimes the game is able to run for 2hours without crashing, sometimes it crashes under five minutes. I have tried all the basic recommended steps, initialization, installing the game again and rebuilding the database.
Nothing has helped. I dont remember really getting this problem with any other games. My ps4 is the first version that came to the market. Could this be a hdd problem? Or is it something else? Im kinda running out of options and starting to think about getting a new ps4. To get over it, you need to perform a FULL format not quick on the hard drive then install PS4 system software from scratch.
This will restore the degraded performance and fix the bad sectors. It really sucks, mhw is my favourite game and I was hoping to do some grinding before the dlc gets released. Now Im not sure can I even play that on my Ps. Could it really be just a incompatibility problem and my only option is to wait for a update? These past few days I have not been able to play even for 15minutes without the game crashing..
Hi, my PS4 runs slower than it used too! Games like Spider man give me corruption errors no matter where you are in the game. Games like FIFA lag during gameplay even offline! Games like The Division 2 take 5 hours to copy from the disc and the system system takes around one minute to speed up when you first login to the PS4.
All this happened after the 6. Is this a mechanical failure or just bad sectors in the drive? I cannot really tell. This will eliminate any bad sector on the drive and restore its performance.
This should work for a while until the drive fails again. But if you experience this, it means the hard drive needs replacement. Try and provide us with your feedback. Initializing Ps4, installing and deleting the app 12 times lol. Can you please help me find a solution? Thx once again. Ok, then you have a hardware problem.
You should take it to a technician to fix it for you because simply you can do nothing in this concern. Hope to get an answer fast. No, taking it to a technician would cost you much less money than getting another PS4. My ps4 keeps freezing on every single game I play.
Just got this new ps4 yesterday and its still not letting me play my games. Nothing I have found has helped me. It has been doing this for 5 days. Only one game works and earlier today it kicked me off of YouTube with the same error code. Thanks again for the reply, i deleted all the volumes so its one big unallocated volume, but it wont let me click anything other than; New simple volume, Help or Properties..
Hey mate, thanks again for the detailed instructions, formatting the HDD now Can you please explain how to format via DOS? Restart your computer while your PS4 hard drive is connected. Keep pressing F8 until you see this screen see image below. My ps4 freezes but not has much has I used to I tried everything initializing data, new HDMI,Cleaningg rebuilding dust,database,new power outlet deleting notifications my WiFi is 70 download speed and 4.
Then install PS4 software from scratch and see if this works or not. If not, the video card is the main culprit. Before accusing the hard drive you have first to initialize PS4 and see how things happen. This would fix any error on the hard drive. After doing these two things, if the problem persists, the source of problem is mostly in the video card, not the hard drive. If you find the hard drive is the problem, you can buy an SSD, which is the most reliable storage device. Hey mate, having some trouble putting my laptop into safe mode, do I need a desktop computer to use safe mode?
Laptops are just like Desktops in this regard. Maybe your Windows OS installation is corrupted. Go to start menu, type in the search box: CMD, and there you are! Now, try to format it with the format command as illustrated earlier. Thanks again mate! Yes, download it separately on an external storage device, preferably USB flash drive. Follow the instructions illustrated here. I also have rebuilt my ps4 database along with initializing my ps4 numerous times.
My ps4 will work on occasion, but it is very rare and lucky for it to work without a game corrupting. If you could get back to me as soon as possible with the best solution to fix my issue along with the amount of time it would probably take to fix it, that would be amazing.
Thank You! So, just pull out PS4 hard drive and connect it to a PC, either via an external hard drive enclosure, or internally via connecting it with the relevant cables. Make sure to do this while your PC is turned off. Now, restart your PC and let it recognize the newly-connected hard drive. Just pick it and follow the steps.
Ok, now it seems the issue is determined. Your hard drive is the source of problem. You need to perform a FULL format on it to eliminate its errors.
Be noted that this is a temporary solution that might last up to a few months before the total collapse of the hard drive. Just take it to any computer repair shop and tell them to FULL format it for you.
If this is the case, then yes, your hard drive needs immediate replacement. Good luck with the new one. Still no comment for me? Ps4 is still broken.
Like 4 of my games work out of The rest freeze and crash my system. PlayStation support was no help at all. I have tried initializing, rebuilding database, reinstalling system software, updating system software, resetting to default settings and deleting and redownloading everything.
Ps4 is like 2 weeks old, never been dropped. I have no idea what to do or who to ask anymore so I would really appreciate some help if you could. I am a hard core gamer and have been for over 10 years now. Please help! Sorry for not coming back to you soon with a response.
Surely I have not noticed it among the heaps of comments we received lately. Do you know how to carry out this operation? Thanks again, very much appreciated! Thanks to you as well for the nice feedback. Just note that when your hard drive starts causing problems again I guess this will happen after few months , that time only you must seriously consider replacing it, as the second delinquency is a bad omen for a serious failure.
No I do not know how to format the hard drive. You need first to connect the hard drive to your PC via the hard drive cables. If you have only a laptop, you need an external hard drive enclosure for this process. Afterwards, follow the instructions illustrated on this page. I was playing a game online when the issues started..
Persisted a couple days before I got frustrated, bc at this point my home playstation menus began to show symptoms also. Hitting PS button would take awhile and the option boxes would be empty capture gallery, library, etc.
The same problems I was having in game. Started doing research and performed a hard restart.. Meanwhile, the playstation froze and turned itself off twice loading simple operations. Tested without network connection problem persisted.. Upon getting the system back on it seemed initialization had not worked.. When first turned on everything seemed fine even played a single round in a game before falling asleep.
Now is the next day and problems are back.. Could this be a hard drive issue? Or something further?.. I feel some signs point to network, is it possible something within corrupted to now it can be connected to internet but can not connect to any online services such as EA, rockstar, etc. This system is a PS4 pro..
Never many trouble out of home network prior.. This will restore the hard drive performance to its original state. I play a lot of large lobby multiplayer type games. Thanks for the quick response.. The best way for you to go through is to take the PS4 Pro hard drive to a computer repair shop. This is the cheapest option for you. If it proves to resolve this issue, that means your hard drive must be replaced within few months when it fails again or starts causing errors.
Otherwise, you can check this post to get the best hard drive for your PS4 Pro. I understand… thanks again for the response. I will try to find one and in my area to take it in.. I guess my question is once they format it for me.. Reinstalling PlayStation operating system without a pc.. Have never had to work on my system like this.. You only need to download PS4 system software the full package on a USB flash drive, then the installation is so easy.
Just visit this page for more details. And not worth buying a new hard drive after that? Will give you some feedback on whether it worked as soon as I can get it back in.. Please come with your feedback once you try it.
Now it just restarts.. This shall resolve your issue. I asked for help on this page about a month ago, my problem was getting error CE every time I played.
I had tried all the things the official PS4 support page tells u to do I also had rebuilt the database and cleaned the ps4. None of those helped and I was instructed to replace the hard drive. And on this weekend I finally got to it. An IT guy replaced the hard drive, properly cleaned my Ps and replaced the thermal paste. At first it seemed all my problems were gone, ps was a lot faster and it didnt overheat. But after 4 hours it crashed. The next day it crashed after 2hours, then again after 30min and then after 15min.
So even though the hard drive was replaced the problem persists. What could cause the problem? Could it be something in my save files? If the situation is just as you described, your PS4 undergoes hardware defect. That would be a much cheaper option that we always advise PS4 users to do in similar situations before considering a new hard drive replacement. Anyway, the source of problem apparently seems in the storage device.
The CPU cannot properly read data from the hard drive. Either because the hard drive itself is malfunctioning, or the CPU is declining.
Then install it into your PS4 again, and see if it works fine or not. Im pretty sure the IT guy already did the full format on the new hard drive before installing because it was a slightly used drive, also my original one was on the verge of death when he checked it so it was better to switch it into a new one.
If not, try it as the first step to overcome this problem. Have a look at this post please. After two days of this happening I contacted PlayStation support and they told me to restore the PS4 to default, rebuild the database, and initialize it if the problem continued to occur. One being CE and the other being CE These error codes come up when ever I try to start up Fortnite. I hope you can identify the problem. This shall eliminate almost all sorts of errors the hard drive undergoes. If not do you have any HDD to recommend for ps4 slim?
Otherwise, you can find other cheaper alternatives in our guide on the best hard drive upgrade for PS4. Hi again, im having some trouble with my ps I ran a full format on my hdd about a month ago which fixed it for a while but now having problems.
As for your PS4 hard drive, I want to ask you first: what problems are you having now? I put the PS4 in safe mode, initialized and it started to run great! I accidentally knocked the power cord out again today and experienced similar problems but initializing seemed to fix it! Thanks again for the reply and all the work you guys do around here!
Yes, surely we can. Just want to know what kind of help you need. Please be specific so we can help you well enough. Hello again. I was wondering if you can help explain how to install windows 10 on my laptop currently running windows 8 and help backup any data etc. Do you think ill be able to upgrade RAM by myself? You only need to have Windows 10 Disc. As for upgrading to a larger RAM size, I am not sure about your laptop.
Does it make it easy to upgrade RAM or not? Mine is Dell Latitude, and there is a special area on its bottom that I only need to remove its cover to reveal the RAM chips and pull them out.
If it is for a year or two, then I recommend gb minimum. If more than that, I recommend gb minimum. Hi again, thanks for the quick reply! Will i need to purchase a windows 10 disc from in-store or amazon? I was reading online that it might be possible to install via USB, do you know anything about that?
I replaced the keyboard of my laptop not too long ago, im pretty sure i can access the RAM slots, is there any that you recommend? Currently using 4gb and have another RAM slot free. Sorry this time for the late response. We have been in a vacation and no one here was available to reply to your comment.
As for the Windows 10 disc, you can buy it from either this or that. And yes, you can have a digital copy that can run from a USB flash stick.
There are many tutorials on YouTube that illustrates that. I recommend that you use minimum 8gb RAM. You have to know what type of RAM does your motherboard support before considering the upgrade.
If it supports, for instance, DDR3, it will be a waste of money to buy DDR4, plus you may have conflicts occurring with the current chip. How can you know? Go to the official online page of that laptop and look into its specs, you can easily figure that out. My ps4 got error ce after downloading an update for Fortnite. Have a look please on these two articles:. Article 1 on how to fix error code ce Article 2 on how to fix failed PS4 hard drive. I just bought a game but now when i play it.
It takes forever to load up and it frezzes up every other second. Please help me figure it out please!!!!!! Is it just that game or every game? If it is only that game, probably you need to check the health of its disc, as it might be dirty or scratched. These are the symptoms of hardware failure. It is either that your PS4 is overheating or you have a defective hardware part. Before going through this route though, try to full initialize PS4.
From the past days my PS4 has been running very slow. So yesterday I was playing Call of duty Black Ops 4 and I could see rendering issues on some of the maps during the game. The graphics were choppy at times. At first I just thought it could have been a network issue or an issue with the game lagging which could happen.
I have a decent internet connection 90mbps. If this error keeps happening put the PS4 into rest mode then turn it back on, restart the PS4 console, then turn off the console.
Do all of this with the disk inside and it should work. Thank you for your advice. May that help someone suffering from this issue. Both of them are having the error code and is wondering if it is my hard drive and what I have to do to fix this problem.
Either that or your PS4 just needs initialization. You first try to initialize, if not, accuse the hard drive. So I deleted RDR2 but I decided to download it again so when I first put the disc in it downloaded an update then tried to download the disc all over again it gets to about 80 is percentage and then the error comes up, did I do something wrong?
I think the quickest solution is to initialize PS4. This should fix it. If none of the above suggestions work for you, you need to initialize PS4. Once done, update to the latest system software version, then install that particular game and check whether it works or not. Hi i only have this problem if i decide to suspend my games via entering a ps4 application such as youtube. Then it works without any problems. I just can play my games if i click on em as soon as i put in the disk and cannot play them after suspending the game.
There is no way that my ps4 let me resume my suspended games without giving me this error. This problem also comes when i wanna put in a blue-ray movie or dvd. I always need to start it asap after puting in the disk. Then it works. What am i suppose to do? I am scared that my ps4 is gonna die someday. Does this problem occur when you play downloaded games, or games installed on the external hard drive? Or is it just the disc-based games? Hey I really need help with this!
If you already have and you still have this error, the second attempt is to format the internal hard drive of PS4. In many cases, the hard drive is the reason for that error. Please have a look on this article for more details. Every time I am installing 2k20, around halfway through it stops and I receive the error message. I tried putting it into safe mode and updating system software as well as cleaning the disk and nothing seems to work. Do you have any ideas? My FIFA 19 always stops at3. Store that file on a USB external storage.
Now follow the instructions illustrated here. So i only get this error when im putting my Tekken 7 cd disc in. But the thing is i bought it back in and back then i had no problems. Everything was running smooth, but then when i got the platinum trophy i deleted the game from my playstation. Fast foward to i wanted to play the game again and when my playstation wanted to download the game it already faced problems.
Suddenly my playstation made weird noises whilst downloading the game, and then suddenly it just stopped, telling me that it cant download this game for what ever reason. I tried a second time and it happened again and then the third time it succesfully downloaded the game. I also waited to it was fully installed and then play the game. Now that i press x wanting to start the game, this error pops up randomly — sometimes it goes into the game and sometimes it doesnt.
Even worse, when i do access the game, all my game data is gone and i can only play offline mode, and when i press to play online or the campaign mode it says that it still needs to complete installing the game data which doesnt make sense since i know its fully installed.
I dont know if there is some kind of relation to the error but it REALLY sucks — i just want this to be fixed And yeah sorry i know this is kind of a more specific issue, and i have to ask help at another website, but if there were someone here that knew if there is some kind of relation to the ps error.
Just let me understand one thing. Can you please try to guess where did that noise come from? Also, does this happen only with that game, yet other games work fine? If this is your case, the game Disc is corrupted. I know this, my game disc is clean mostly. And I checked the other discs that work. And you say that the game disc is corrupted, when it looks clean. You mean all other discs work fine on your PS4 except that particular disc?
If my understanding is correct, you have to try that disc on another console and check whether it works properly or not. Experiment is what you have to believe here. Have you tried all the suggested solutions in this guide? Maybe your PS4 hard drive needs maintenance, but before accusing it, try other methods. Just make that your last resort. I also refreshed the database, cleaned the disk, and my default attempts always remain in the same place.
There was no problem updating another game. Most probably your PS4 hard drive needs maintenance. Please check the PS4 hard drive failure article for more details.
Started only recently, after I got the 7. I tried to rebuild database, update from USB, did not work. Plus, my whole PS4 runs noticeably slower, loadings are longer.
Other games I tried to play are running, only loadings are lot longer. The strangest thing is, that when I tried to start Dishonored today, after a week of not playing, it ran fine for about 2 hours, then the sound of ingame characters got buggy. Like they were talking only with a delay, subtitles were synced however. Then I quit the game, the same error and the whole system slowed down again. Please help. First: try to full initialize PS4 that includes re-installation of the PS4 system software from scratch.
After you do that, the first thing you have to do is to update to the latest version v. Now try it, does it work fine? If not, try the second solution. This will eliminate bad sectors and restores the performance of the PS4 hard drive. Please visit this article to learn how to do that. Ok, I have found out that only that particular game does not work, other games are running fine. Even the slow down did not occur since then.
Now, the game just enters loading screen, then an error shows up, saying the game data are damaged or what and I need to redownload the game.
I tried it, and it did not help. So, I am thinking that I just give up on the game cuz I am not sure I wanna do the intializing since it would take time just backing up my data and then I would have to redownload all the games and stuff. Welcome back Adam. Before you just give up, try to rebuild the PS4 database.
So, I tried it, did not work. The same thing again. Now, I have more free time, so maybe I shall try and intialize the system. Do you have any advice about backing up the data? What, excluding saves, should I back up? Additionally, this article might help you.
So, just to update you. I tried to intialize but it did not help. Then I found out I need either external drive case or pc motherboard to do the full format and I have neither. Soo yeah, I put up a warranty claim in the store where I bought the ps4, and they told me they will give me a new one. Happy ending I guess? I was playing fortnite and my ps4 turned off. When I turned it back on and clicked on the game digital I got the error ce Cannot start application.
There was a grand theft auto disc in the console which was dirty I ejected the ga. It disallow me to play other digital games. My guess is to see if it will read any diac, delete Nd reinstall fortnite. WIll be on the look for a new one I suppose. If you have already tried all the solutions on this article and none worked, you will need to replace the PS4 internal HDD.
Please read this article for more details. I cannot install games. I get the erroer CE I rebuilt the database, initialized the PS4. It will play older games, but it will not install a new game from a disc. I have tried to install two games and I still get the error. It will still play a blu-ray DVD. So I do not know what to do. I am close to the point of just buying a new one and starting from scratch but I would rather not do that so close to the release of the PS5.
This will eliminate all bad sectors and restores the lost performance of the hard drive. Fortnite gives me this error every time I start it, but it only affects this game. The easiest way to fix that is by full initializing PS4. Do you know of any good video or guide website links to show me how I can reformat my internal PS4 hardrive please? Have a look at this article. It reads it and realizes what game it is but when it goes to copy application data at the very end of copying the application data it spazzes out and says Cannot Start the Application CE then has an X over the loading bar on the home screen..
This seems to be a symptom of a bad sector on the hard drive. This is the only way to fix bad sectors on hard drives.
