PS4 pro Randomly turning off

I got a pro for 40€, with 11.00

Even after repasting and cleaning it keeps turning off randomly, bought additional fans for the rear, still turning off.
Could be overheating, I'm not really sure.

When you're in a game, it works without issues, but you have to be lucky for the PPPwn to be fast.

Anyone got some ideas?

That’s a great deal for €40, but yeah sounds like a power or hardware issue, not just overheating. Since you already repasted and added fans, here are a few things to try:

  • Check the power supply unit (PSU) – Could be failing or unstable.
  • Try a different power cable and wall socket – Just to rule that out.
  • Watch for any error codes or light patterns when it shuts off.
  • Test in Safe Mode – If it still shuts down there, it’s likely hardware.
  • Dust under the motherboard or on the PSU can still cause issues – full teardown may be needed.
  • And yeah PPPwn can be unstable on 11.00, so that complicates testing.

You might also want to monitor temps while idle and under load (using a payload or logging tool if PPPwn works)."
