It looks like the system does an HDD check. If it was a corrupted HDD it should throw an error shouldn't it? If your HDD in PS3 dies does it throw an error?

OP's problem

Aren't those two taco bell PS4s though?

The first post of this thread. The guy from the stream had his problem during the DCUO update.

Yes.

OP.

Well that's just great. I was looking forward to playing BF4 on PS4 too...I'll just wait to see how things go..

 

[Tsundere]

Since the OS seems to work just fine, it's most likely a defective hard drive. The "updates" and "downloads" are causing bad sectors to crash the system.

 

[Kerned]

I feel really bad for the guy, but the is the most entertainment I've ever got from a malfunctioning new console that doesn't belong to me.

 

[smik]

He's getting his DOS attacked guys.

yep, stream is cutting out and updates have stalled midway downloading, that and a screwy hard drive maybe, but most probally his connection

[Jedi2016]

I think whatever happened when he unplugged in the middle of the download is still at work. He took out the HDD, booted, turned it off and put it right back in. He didn't change anything about it, he should format it.

Exactly. The worst thing is that he restarted the very process that killed it in the first place, and he's baffled that the problem happened again. He clearly has a badly corrupted install of DCUO.

Seriously, DCUO? He's so hyped about that game that he's willing to retry downloading it after it caused his system to go down for over five hours on stream? Really?

 

[whitehawk]

What's the stream link? I'm so confused.

 

[MThanded]

Come on dude. Reformat the drive. The masses aint ready for dat tech.

 

[BadAss2961]

It surely has to be something like this, the instant he tried to launch the PS store the whole thing hard reset.

The drive probably needs to be reformatted. Good luck trying to get that guy to accomplish this.

 

[Remeard]

Man, this thread and the "Walmart is apparently selling monitors for $8.95" thread....

2013 is Year of the Years for GAF

 

[harrypmgaga]

What's the stream link?

 

[enzo_gt]

 

[Goodacre0081]

would a DDOS attack corrupt his HDD when he was installing DCUO?

All the problems seems happened during the download process.

 

[kasane]

Wait he bricked it again? wat

If so totally Darksydephil 2.0

Its not the game dude.. he needs to reformat the HDD

 

[Punkster_NY]

wonder if he's tried this out yet.

So if your PS4 wont show a picture but the blue light pulses, it tries to load data from the HDD but cant..so it wont load into the OS.
Another problem? You cant load into Safe Mode with this corrupted OS data...
Fix?
1. You have to unplug your HDD
2. Boot the Console without HDD and it will load Safe Mode (white lightbar) and asks for a HDD
3. Turn off, plug in the HDD again and boot the Console again
4. PS4 will boot into Safe Mode again and you can recover now the necessary OS Data, PS4 will start again and will boot into OS again.
No HDMI fault like some people said.

[Codeblew]

Format the drive bro. There is corrupted data on it.

Naw, the hardrive is fucked if anything. Lol, plus PS4 is run on BSD, not WINDOWS. It isn't fat32 or NTFS so formatting his drive on Windows isn't going to do jack shit.

LOL, his brother is having same issue??? FUCKING TROLL.

 

[Gurrry]

Shamalan Twist:

Streamer is xbox one PR. Got PS4 early, breaks it on purpose.

 

[Minions]

This guy does not know you can reformat through the ps4?

 

[D23]

Ps4 is dead again

 

[Yondy604]

Did it break again?

 

[mmitt]

wonder if he's tried this out yet.


http://www.reddit.com/r/PS4/comments/1ql51v/how_to_fix_the_evident_ps4_brick_after_freeze/

he was the one who got it working that way, until it broke again

 

[braves01]

Wow it's broken again. This is an epic worthy of Homer.

 

[Jedi2016]

Its not the game dude.. he needs to reformat the HDD

He doesn't know how.. lol.

 

[John Rabbit]

oh man he's really getting upset.

 

[Chucker]

HOW AM I GONNA FORMAT THE HARD DRIVE? I ONLY HAVE A LAPTOP.

Dude is killing me.

 

[CitizenCope]

If this isn't about the OP where did this start in the thread?

 

[RaikuHebi]

No HDMI fault like some people said.

This is what Stephen Totillo said. Tortilla, Tacos. It's all a crunchy Mexican conspiracy!

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Yo

His logic for not being able to reformat his HDD


I CAN'T

It says it's flagged... how are you guys watching this?! lol...

 

[melonrabbit]

Has this guy ever owned a console before? Sony needs to take it back and find it a better home.

 

[SpudBud]

Come on, Safe mode dude..

 

[Zombie James]

Is he serious? Find and burn a boot CD somewhere, remove your current hard drive, put in the PS4 hard drive, format.

 

[TriniTrin]

his brothers having the same issuE GUYZ!

 

[Windom Earle]

I don't think he's trolling... wish he was though, giving out all the personal info was really stupid. :/

 

[Minions]

"My brother is having the same issue";

How did both of them win PS4's... pretty crazy.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

What bugs me the most is this guy when it booted back up could have formatted through the PS4 system settings like you can on PS3 (assuming) but instead goes and RESTARTS his DL of DCUO when the other one was also DLing so he's got two download going. One of which is surely corrupted from god knows what he did to his system to start this mess.

 

[mrdark]

This guy has to be trolling at this point. Or he's retarded.

 

[Phreaker]

His brother is having the same issue?!

 

[diggler41]

Wow it's broken again. This is an epic worthy of Homer.

Indeed

 

[smik]

is he running this without the day one update?

 

[Garrett 2U]

would a DDOS attack corrupt his HDD when he was installing DCUO?

Losing internet while downloading a game better not corrupt the hard drive lol

 

[Kerned]

If I wanted to format a hard drive but didn't know how, I might consider googling "how do I format a hard drive" rather than ask a Twitch chat.

 

[kurbaan]

Seems like this dude is starting to troll now. He just said his bro has the same issue lol...

 

[NoTacos]

"Exchange it for a nacho bell grande" LOOB this chat

 

[Chucker]

his brothers having the same issuE GUYZ!

lol, I loved that.
