Ps3 freezing

Stain · 04-28-2008, 03:16 PM

Well whenever im playing it would freeze from like 5-30 min of gameplay. My ps3 also sometimes wouldn't turn on, the lights at the front of the ps3 light up as they always do but it wont show anything up on my screen it would just be black. Whenever my ps3 freezes i can still see the screen and everything that i was doing but i cant move anything with my controller it basically just freezes. On the back where it says digital out (optical) it shows a red glow from inside dont know if thats worth mentioning but meh. I have had the ps3 for about 2 months but i baught it off the internet and it was used so i dont know how old it really is. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi Stain. Welcome to TSF.

Freezing is usually related to overheated components. If the PS well ventilated?

Hi Mariandvd, Welcome to TSF.

Is it well ventilated?
Does it freeze at the same time always?
Did you drop it sometime?
Have you tried resetting it, in case an update wasn't installed properly?

The latest PS3 update 2.35 has fixed some game titles from freezing so i would suggest you get it.
