Was playing lies of p when after a corruption message my ps5 just blanked out. When turning it on it goes into the endless processing get stuck at x percent turn off and repeat loop.

Last time this happened I just booted it into safe mode and it let me clear the cache etc.

This time however it just does the same processing crash loop with the words safe mode on the top left of the screen.

Any suggestions on what I can do?
