Strange PS4 issues - Had no power, and now wireless randomly stopped?

The Title says all, but let me explain. The other day I went to turn my PS4 on and it shut off the moment the blue light came on. Of course this freaked me out, and I unplugged the system and plugged it back in to see if that would help, and it did. The PS4 booted like normal. After that I shut the ps4 off and turned it back on at least 10 or so times, and I tested different conditions as well. I played some games for a few hours, I shut it off, turned it on, fine. I waited over night, tried it in the morning, and once again it was fine. Basically no more issues, it was a freak thing. My guess was that for some reason it just wasn't getting power from my power strip as the exact same thing happens if you unplug the PS4 and it uses the tiny bit of stored energy in it to attempt to boot.

 

Anyway things have been fine for the rest of the week until today. I turned it on and was greeted with the "press ps button" screen. My controllers wouldn't work. Neither would connect, and I couldn't connect them with the usb either. So what did I do? Tried to shut it off, and failed. Console entered sleep mode, I woke it back up, and again the controllers didn't work. I DID manage to log in this time by using the camera and my face, and logging in showed that I was also not connecting to the network wirelessly. It was as if all wireless connections on my ps4 were dead. So, after that I did get the console shut off by holding the button, and I was once again able to turn it on just fine. I have since turned it off and on about 3-4 times, and each time my controllers and internet were working again.

 

So my question is, what do you guys think is going on? Were these two freak glitches that just so happened to occur around the same time? Or could something be going on inside my PS4? The thing is a second shipment model, and I do take very good care of it. I'm paranoid about electronics breaking, so I'm a little too careful for my own good sometimes. I keep them clean, and I even have them on min stands so that there are only 2 points of contact on the bottom of the system. In other words, the systems "float" in mid air to avoid building up heat under them. Of course the area is well ventelated anyway, but I'm still extra careful. Anyway, the point is I'm extremely careful with the things so I know nothing could have been knocked loose or what not, and I know it can't be a heating issue. Of course I know that things can still randomly fail, but if that's the case I don't understand why it seems fine now. Typically if something breaks it stays broken, so yeah...

 

Any advice would really help me out here. Thanks guys
