PS4 Keeps Shutting Off – How to Fix

Published

on

playstation 4 freezes fixIf it’s not the blue lights blinking problem with the PlayStation 4, it might be another problem you’re experiencing: the PS4 keeps shutting off, usually after the red light indicator and three beeps. Some other times, it simply shuts off without any indicator, after entering safe mode and does the same thing over and over game. Naturally, those who splashed the cash on a day one purchase want to know how to fix the problems with the PS4 shutting off constantly.

You might want to check out the video below to see if your problem is similar to that of the user who posted a video with the PS4 problem:

Right now, there doesn’t seem to be much info on this problem with the PlayStation 4 turning off after three beeps. For those who see the red lights before it turns off, it might be an overheating problem as the red lights usually suggest overheating. So turning the console off and leaving it rest for a while before turning it on again might do the trick. Also try to move the PS4 to an open area so there’s enough air to keep it cool.

However, many people are reporting this problem with the console after it stays on for just a couple of minutes, so in theory there should be no overheating issues.

We’re still investigating and actively looking for solutions on how to fix the PS4 shutting off problem. If you experience something similar, let us know and especially let us know if you managed to find something that works to solve it.

    The exact problem I’m facing. Stays on for about 3 minutes before “overheating” even though the console isn’t running hot to the touch. It’s basically whenever the HDD is stressed – then it tends to shut itself off.

    Luckily, my Gamestop is overnighting me a replacement system to pick up tomorrow so hopefully I won’t get back to back faulty units. The projected fail rate of 0.4% is starting to seem more and more inaccurate across a wide variety of issues people are experiencing.

    I truly hope it’s only 0.4% though and that I was just dealt one of the short straws.

      Had the same problem right out of the box. Sometimes red light, sometimes flashing blue. After turning it back on about 30 times I finally managed to get the update installed and it hasn’t turned itself off since. Hope this helps someone.

      I have the same problem if I leave it on unattended for a while and eventually turn it off, but when I come back to it maybe a day or two later it turns on for about 10 seconds and shuts right off, even before it has time to register to my television that the console is on

    Mine doesn’t have the red light blinking, but it will be on for about 10 seconds and it will work fine, but then it will just freeze for about a minute and then reset. But it has the three beeps also.

    firstly, some of you morons need to leave the ps4 off all together and pay more attention in english class.

    Secondly, your ps4 did the same thing as the guy before you. duh! can we have another 15 morons tell us their machine did the same thing? Throw them away and spend more time studying and doing your homework.

    My system kept shutting down and the 3 beeps my brother in law found a master reset it’s under the top cover above where disk goes u slide panel off towards outside now this worked for me because my system was silent u should hear a fan running if there’s no noise it’s going to die sometime game store said not to fix it wouldn’t b worth it they buy broken systems for 20 buck

    Johnj, sentences begin with a capital letter.
    Altogether is one word.
    English is a proper noun, therefore begins with a capital letter.
    PS4 please, not ps4.
    Duh would also have a capital as it follows a full stop.
    That small dot at the bottom of the exclamation mark is actually a full stop so “can” should also have started with a capital letter.

    I’m so glad BombingRun told us that “bored” clearly has zero friends. I need people going around figuring these things out, just like I need people to pump my gas. Love the effort where having to list your name and email is way more text than the message itself, but since there’s no effort it automatically implies BombingRun is an awesome dude, a good samaritan and is TOO.COOL.TO.HANDLE

    We are in awe of your greatness. Come back with more wisdom, help us with this PS4 problem, do not forsake us when you were our only hope!

    you don’t need to come on to these help sections / forums & act like a c*nt “JohnJ” you don’t get any sex obviously because you’re a wanker. no capital letters needed… just get your lube out & think of your dad’s finger where it shouldn’t be. & it’s probably there so you can’t talk out your arse anymore. anyone else figured out how to fix this problem yet, rather then act like a twat. please leave a comment “helpfull” if possible

    1. If its been on for a while, it’s very possible your unit is overheating. Turn it off for a few and wait for it to cool down. Make sure it’s in a spot where it can get proper ventilation. Yadda yadda yadda.

    2. As unhelpful as it sounds, check the various cords running from the PS4 (especially the power cord). You’ll never know unless you’re willing to take the 20 seconds to check.

    3. If you’re lucky, it could be a case of the inevitable software glitches. Whether it be firmware or app issues, you can usually get it fixed via update(s).

    4. For older systems, try going easy on the multi-tasking aspect of your PS4. Don’t run two apps at once; don’t be charging anything while the system is active; that sort of thing.

    5. Clean up some of the clutter you’ve got stored on your hard-drive. Defrag if you feel it necessary.

    6. If you’ve tried all that, then you’re really only left with 3 options… Get it fixed – Get it replaced – Switch to Xbox.

    I hope that helps. Don’t do drugs. Stay away from time shares. ;)

    My current problem: After about 2 or 3 minutes of being on my PS4 lightbar flashes red, the system pops up a warning on the tv stating that it is overheating before turning itself off. Oddly enough, the system actually does feel hot around the HDD area. My current plan of action: Attempt to get a replacement fan, attempt to get the thermal paste replaced as well, and lastly clean the heatsinks. If anybody has any other suggestions I would love the hear them, as long as they do not involve paying attention in English class . . . I almost always slept through that class.

Top Fighting Games on Android

Published

Fighting Games on Android

Fighting games have been a major sub-genre of the industry since the dawn of gaming. While the original fist-fighting game came out in 1976, the genre arguably peaked in the 1980s. Dozens of franchises came smashing down arcades, from Mortal Kombat to Tekken.

But gamers do not need to visit the local gaming center anymore to get in on the action, as platform fighters and hand-to-hand combat have long gone mobile. So, are you up for a brawl? Whether you’re into brutal MMA fights or formidable superhero battles, let’s round up some of the best fighting games to play on Android.

Marvel Contest of Champions

While movies and comic books are still at the core of its extended universe, Marvel has also expanded to the gaming medium. Much to mobile gamers’ dismay, though, exhilarating brawler games like Marvel’s Avengers and massive crossovers like Marvel vs. Capcom never made it to smartphones. But Marvel Contest of Champions is more than epic enough to make up for it.

Developed by Kabam, this versus-fighting action game features a pretty strong line-up comprising virtually every Marvel character in the book. Beloved heroes like Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Hulk are all set for battle throughout iconic Marvel locations, such as Asgard, Stark Tower, and Wakanda. Yet players may as well pick supervillains to pit against the good guys. So, assemble the strongest super-heroic team and combine each champion’s unique set of devastating attacks and special abilities. Better yet, this mobile Marvel game allows for competitive multiplayer fighting.

Skullgirls: Fighting RPG

Skullgirls is a solid contender for best mobile fighting game out there. This fighting RPG by Autumn Games has got some incredibly responsive battle animations going for it, and just enough grind to keep players engaged for hours on end. Fun special moves and combos take fast-paced combat to the next level, serviced by colorful background visuals and a jazzy soundtrack that may feel out of place but gives the game that much more flavor.

And all kicking and pummeling aside, Skullgirls has much in the way of the story, too. In an original twist on the genre, this 2D RPG features an all-female cast of quirky yet fierce hand-animated characters. Players may even customize their fighter while searching for the elusive Skullgirl and stopping her from destroying the city of New Meridian.

Mortal Kombat

Alongside Capcom’s Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat is probably the best-known fighting franchise in the world. The series stemmed from the idea of making a video game starring action movie superstar Jean-Claude Van Damme. Funnily enough, JCVD would eventually play center stage in the live-action adaptation of Street Fighter. Still, Mortal Kombat spawned countless installations, TV series, and feature films.

And gamers can now experience the visceral fighting and trademark Fatalities that made the franchise so infamous straight on mobile. Mortal Kombat shows off a whopping roster of over 130 warriors, who level up through challenges of increasing difficulty. Teaming up fighters with matching synergies, mobile players can tackle ferocious enemies in online competitive mode or all on their own. This mobile version of the legendary game also includes a card collection feature.

EA Sports UFC

The intensity of the Octagon translates superbly to the gaming medium. Released by Electronic Arts on multiple platforms, EA Sports UFC quickly became the go-to title for gamers with a knack for mixed martial arts. And the mobile version doesn’t disappoint, pitting up to 97 UFC fighters against one another in heated fashion – and even martial arts legend Bruce Lee as an unlockable bonus. EA Sports UFC may thus be the perfect mobile game to dive into while waiting for the next big superstar comeback.

Meanwhile, prominent fighters like Valentina Shevchenko and Nikita Krylov will keep fans on the edge of their seats in upcoming UFC events. And MMA enthusiasts can even spruce up the experience with a gamble. Reviewers like SBO have laid down the most profitable online bookies for punters to explore. The best sportsbooks offer a range of betting options on MMA, ranging from method of victory to total rounds. Lofty bonuses and welcome packages also await newcomers. And online punters can make bank out of even more sports, from the ultra-popular to the niche.

Fighting games are as old as time. But with improved gameplay and ever-so-striking aesthetics, they’ve remained fresh throughout the decades. And players can now get their fists to do the talking on mobile, from retro titles to inventive entries.

What to Expect from Gaming and Online Casinos in the Next 10 Years

Published

on

Cards,Mouse,Coins and dice.

The 21st century has been a great time for gaming and online casinos. We’ve seen explosive growth in both sectors, with new technologies and platforms emerging constantly. The following 10 years promise to be even more exciting, as we’ll see even more innovation and growth in the gaming industry, as well as the online gambling industry.

In this blog post, we’ll look at some of the trends that we think will shape the next decade of gaming and online casino development. So whether you’re a casual player or a hardcore gambler, read on to find out what the next 10 years have in store for you!

The increasing popularity of online casinos and gaming

With many people stuck at home, they turned to digital platforms for entertainment, including gaming and slots sites. As a result, these sectors have seen explosive growth over the past few years. With the increasing popularity of technology, games have moved from physical pieces to digital pixelated ones, allowing for even more immersive and engaging gaming experiences.

With the online world ever-growing, it was only a matter of time before gambling followed suit. Nowadays, casinos are looking for ways to pull in more business through rewarding online slots promotions, as opposed to the regular operations in brick-and-mortar casinos. In addition, advancements in technology have allowed for the development of online slots, poker rooms, and other casino games that are not only secure and safe to play but also offer a level of quality that is comparable to land-based casinos.

Although we have made a lot of progress, especially with online casinos and online slots games, there is still more to come. Here are some of the changes we predict for this billion-dollar online casino industry in the next ten years:

The increasing legalization of online casinos globally

As online gaming becomes more and more popular, we are seeing an increased push for the legalization of online gambling in countries all around the world. With more people playing on digital platforms and experiencing the benefits of online casinos, governments are recognizing this trend and moving towards changing laws to allow for wider access to these online gambling sites.

For example, in the United States, more states are beginning to implement legal gambling solutions due to the US federal government softening its regulations. And this trend will likely continue in the coming years, as more countries begin to recognize the benefits of legalizing online casinos which include increased tax revenues and a better way to regulate gambling in the digital age.

Virtual reality gaming

With the rise of virtual reality technology, we can expect to see casinos offer more immersive gaming experiences. Players will be able to experience realistic casino environments and games through VR headsets, allowing for an even more realistic gaming experience. Game developers are constantly releasing new concept games to online casinos, and we can expect these same sorts of fun, attractive experiences to be available in the next few years.

Blockchain Technology for Transparent and Fair Gambling Systems

Another major trend that we will see in online casinos and gaming over the next decade is the use of blockchain technology. With this technology, players can rest assured that they are getting a fair chance to win while enjoying secure transactions and transparent gambling systems. Blockchain technology allows for all casino transactions to be recorded on an open ledger, making it difficult for casinos to manipulate the outcomes of games. As a result, players can enjoy more trust, transparency, and fairness in their online gaming activities.

Casino

Game development

When visiting an online casino, it is essential to find an operator that provides a good variety of games. For instance, slots games are very popular in the digital environment, finding a provider with a good variety of slots games will chance your experience. You could find different slots themes and choose the slot game you like the most. In the next ten years, we could be expecting new games integration with better graphics, creative and fun. Game developers will have a higher demand and they will be providing cool slots themes and other casino games.

Top of the line Live Dealer Games

Finally, we will also see more sophisticated live dealer games in online casinos and gaming over the next decade. With the rise of 4K and 5K resolution cameras, online casino providers have been able to offer gamers a much more realistic viewing experience.

These live dealer games can be streamed from various locations, allowing more people to join and play different types of online games. With a more advanced streaming quality, players can now interact with real dealers in real time and enjoy a variety of table games such as roulette, slots, blackjack, and baccarat. With so many exciting changes coming our way, we can look forward to even more engaging gaming experiences in the years ahead!

In Summary

Overall, it’s clear that the gaming and online casino industries are undergoing major changes as we look toward the future. Whether you’re an avid gamer or just a casual player, there are exciting developments on the horizon that will shape how we interact with these platforms – and how they affect our daily lives. So if you’re looking for the best possible experiences from the gambling and casino industry, in particular, be sure to keep an eye out for these exciting online casino trends as well as online slots promotions that suit your playing style.
