PS3 is freezing up - Blu-ray Forum

Sooner39 · 08-15-2008, 12:54 PM

I have had a PS3 for a year. I watch Blu Ray's, DVD's, and play games almost everyday. When I play something now, it will freeze mid game or in the movie. I have to re start the PS3, but it does it again. Is there something I can do, or is it time to get a new one?

Wipe the disc clean. Clean the PS3 (including mild vacuuming). See if that works.

my PS3 froze up continuously , and was caused by that orange info bar on the top right of the XMB. i turned it off, and problem solved. but i believe my freezes were in the XMB and not in-movie, in-game.

don't get a new one. i think sony will fix it for only 150 dollars or something like that

Make sure it's in a well ventilated area. It might be over heating.
If the high speed fan is kicking in, that might give you some indication.

Maybe put a fan toward it and see if it helps.
