  • Sounds like its overheating, Make sure U dont cover the air vents on the right and I keep mine standing on its left side(thers little rubber pads look carefully) that way heat escapes easily.
  • Sounds like a hardware issue. Kinda like the xbox360's. i would most definitely send it in. but thats what the 360s did and im betting thats what it is.
  • Is it overheating? Make sure it has 10cm gap around for proper ventilation. Put it in horizontal position. If it's not overheating - contact Sony.
  • Is your ps3 hot? It shuts off after it reaches a critical temperature.
  • Call SONY, they are the pros.
