This can lead to lost progress for gamers. This is a common problem but does not appear to be extensive. There are two prior things users should do if this occurs. The first thing to do is to check for any PS4 updates. Sony intermittently releases new software for the PS4 that fixes bugs and performance issues. This could fix PS4 freezing for many users that may have ignored an update. If the PS4 hangs after playing it for long periods make sure it is not overheating. If this is the case put the PS4 to a more open area that could prevent freezing during long gameplay sessions. Place a fan next to the system in order to decrease heat. Ensure that the internal fan is running properly. For users who cannot fix the freezing problem, then they can contact the Game console repair service. 3.tDisc Read Errors: If your PS4 will not read a new disk when you put it in, you are not only one person. This is a gradually common problem with the PS4. In most cases, a disc read error will manifest itself as Error Code CE-35486-6. This could mean that your disc is damaged or scratched, but you have to be sure. First, try power off your console. Turn it off, unplug all cords, and then hold the power button for about 30 seconds. Keep power off that for two minutes, and then reattach all cords and power on the system. If the problem continues, the next step would be to reinstall the game in question. Navigate to its icon in the game menu, press Options and delete it. By inserting the disc again, the installation should begin automatically. 4.tAudio & Video Problems: u2022tNext common PS4 problem relates to audio and video.
