Today we’ll be exploring the CE-107857-8 PS5 error code error and how you can go about solving it. The error is accompanied by a message that reads:
Application error. There was a problem loading the application.
As stated in the message above, this error is a system error. One way of dealing with system errors is to make sure your system software is up to date. The latest system software update was released on 02/03/2021. It is advisable to keep your console updated to the latest version of system software. You can do this with the following steps:
- Start by going to Settings > System > System Software > System Software Update and Settings > Update System Software.
- Then select Update Using Internet.
You can download the update on your console directly. However, if you find your update stuck during download, a good idea would be to redownloading it or downloading it on a separate device, and transferring the update file to your console using a USB drive.
You can also consider reinstalling your system software. This will, however, lead to the deletion of your system software files and data. This is also called a hard or factory reset.
A couple of points of caution:
- Do not download updates or system software files from any other sources than the official update sources, i.e., provided by Sony.
- Avoid installing any system software immediately before or after a power outage.
- Make sure your console doesn’t shut off or lose power during an update. This can lead to damage to the system.
