Ps3 question here, okay whenever i play Call of Duty 4 my ps3 freezes up what should i do?

May be...
  • well a couple of things you can check.



    1) check your memory level - if it's at max try deleting some videos or game demo's etc... whatever you have saved you don't want anymore.



    2) check to see how dirty it is inside - call of duty 4 is a bit of a demanding game on the system (not that the ps3 cant handle it) but if it's excessivly dusty inside it may be heating up and freezing



    3) sometimes a good hard shut down (manually hold down the power button on the console) and a restart can do it a lot of good. Or you can reset it.



    4) check for scratches or anything wrong with the disc. I'd do this first before you assume that it's the consoles fault. 9 times out of 10 it's the disc that has problems.
  • I've had the same problem, here. Since my PS3 is a launch model PS3, it was well outside warranty, so I took mine apart. To my disappointment, I found a transistor burnt up on the motherboard.



    Sony charges $150 for out of warranty repairs, and I found a guy local here in PA who charges $50-125 for repairs, depending on parts and extent of repair (and even matches Sony's 90-day warranty to boot!). He felt confident the freezing problem was in no way related to the burnt transistor, but rather to a bad code in the firmware.



    He's still working on it, but he seemed pretty confident it was the firmware.
  • You should take it to Sony
