So my controller will turn and stay on fine, but as soon as I choose an account to sign in as, the controller turns off. It will also turn off if I press the PlayStation button. Basically it functions as a normal controller until I try to sign in, then it turns off automatically. Also, if it has a charge, it will turn itself on automatically. I've tried resetting and the share+PS button combo. Neither worked. Any ideas? Thank you.

Narrow down which end the fault lies - controller or PS4 - by doing the following:
1.) Try using the controller and pairing it with another / different PS4.
2.) Try pairing a different PS4 controller to the PS4 in question.
