I've been experiencing an issue with my PS5 overheating and turning off for no apparent reason. The console is a couple of years old, and this problem just started recently. I've already cleaned the fan, the silver heatsink, and the honeycomb vent holes, including the bottom near the power supply unit, but it still turns off within about 30 seconds of starting a game. I've always kept it horizontally, and I even rebuilt the database to eliminate any software issues. If anyone has any solutions or advice, I'd really appreciate it!

It sounds like a hardware issue, honestly. If it's shutting down after only 30 seconds, that's not typical overheating behavior. Usually, it takes longer for components to hit high temperatures. It might be worth checking to see if there's a more significant hardware failure at play here.
Yeah, I agree with TechWizard99. The 30-second shutdown suggests something beyond just overheating. It's like how a car takes a while to warm up; your PS5's hardware isn’t heating up that quickly. You might want to look into potential hardware failures as the cause.
