Alright, I know this 'problem' is all over the internet. Seriously though I'm getting annoyed with it. Do i really have to Initialize PS4 like 2-3 times a week? I tried software update, rebuilding data base, disable/enable rest mode, i cleaned the HDD, made sure there's no dust or anything on it. I don't know what else to do honestly, i have read online that i should put the original HDD back, but i didn't even change it. Could it be because of the HDD? Should i buy new HDD and change the original?

@TheIdleCritic Thank you? but no thanks. I'm not looking for new/used ps4. if i want to buy one then i should wait for the ps5.
However, I'm looking for a fix for my current ps4. if you have a solution please provide it.

I wasn't aware this was a problem. When you cleaned the HDD, I assume you took it out entirely?

@TheIdleCritic yes I did, i took it out cleaned it carefully. put it back in and still get the same problem every once in a while. I fix the problem by Initialize the ps4, but i'm losing my mind by doing it every week twice or more. and i have to download all my games again and stuff.. you know? it's getting annoying.

Hmm. I tentatively say... you might just need to buy a new HDD. That might be the best and cheapest option. They should be pretty cheap.
But it also sounds like the connector to the motherboard might be loose or broken :/ those are hard to source though.
