PS3 keeps exiting game by itself


Recommended Posts

Yep, newest FW whichever that is. First time ever was probably 2-3 days ago, I don't have any other games so I can't check that, it only happens on a rare occasion, I've played atleast 13-14 games in the last week or two and its only done this once before right now. Not a major problem but I don't want it to become bigger. :(

The first time it happened was the day I played atleast 6-7 games in a row without turning the PS3 off. This time I played it for about half an hour and it happened.

BTW: Does the new TimeShift Multiplayer demo install on your PS3? I get an error every single time.

****, please do not say that. PLEASE.

This is a minor problem, and I think it may have to do with overheating I have my PS3 vertical so the top part is about 2mm from the top of the cabinet, if I move it vertical then the right part is 2mm from the side of the cabinet, therefore heat gets trapped I'm guessing?

Why is PS3 is running so hot, I have 2 360 and a PS3 but PS3 is byfar releasing the hottest air.

Well that not a problem, it could just mean that the PS3 is doing a better job of getting rid of the heat. There have been no major reports of PS3s overheating, but plenty stories about Xbox 360s overheating.

Ok, this is happening more and more often. Atleast 4 times in the past 2 days. I think something is up. I have a loud PS3, but the fan is no longer loud, however the games keep exiting. I think its an overheating issue, because my fan is going fast/loud and the game is exiting?

The PS3 is in an open environment, air accesses it from all 4 sides so I dunno??

Definitely strange.

To me overheating would usually = console lockup, not the console exiting the game, but maybe thats a "safety" feature.

Still under guarantee? I'd get it checked out :yes:

yeah, im thinking that its an overheating issue aswell. So i guess my fan is no longer working the way it should, because before it would fill my room with immense noise but the games would be working, but now its the opposite, the fan is pretty low in side, id say about speed 2 from the startup level.

i think id rather just attempt to return it from the retailer i got it from before dealing with Sony?

    • Err more info required... Are you using the built-in VPN client? PowerShell > Batch. Either way, the script will most likely use rasdial.
    • The viewing figures in season 2 plummeted after 1 of the main characters died in season 2 episode 1. I think hbo is regretting listening to him so they got rid of him.
    • Google Workspace now lets you use custom AI Gems directly in Docs, Gmail, and more by Paul Hill Google Workspace users can now access Gems from the side panel of Google Docs, Slides, Sheets, Drive, and Gmail. Previously, Gems could only be accessed from the Gemini app directly. For anyone not familiar with Gems, they’re a more advanced feature in Gemini where you can make your own chatbots, powered by Gemini, with custom instructions. If you’re interested in learning more about them, check out my editorial from April, where I argue custom AI bots are the best thing about generative AI and how to create your own bots. The decision to make Gems available across Google Workspace has the potential to significantly speed up people’s workflows if they’ve started using Gems already. If you’ve never made a Gem, Google has several pre-made ones including a Brainstormer, Writing editor, Coding partner, and Learning guide. Google Workspace users can leverage Gems in an almost infinite number of ways. For example, imagine if you’re a teacher in whatever country and you have to make lesson plans for your class that must follow a certain structure, you can use natural language to program a gem to expect certain inputs from you (such as grade, subject, topic etc) and get an output that follows the required guidelines. If you’re a journalist, you could create a gem to quickly strip out the key bits of news from a press release or if you’re a student you can create a bot to break down complicated subjects into something easier to understand. The possibilities are nearly endless and now the Gems you make are even more accessible. Google mentioned that Gems can be accessed via the side panel of all supported Workspace applications and can be used across Workspace capabilities including @ mentioning, accessing files and folders, and more. If you need to create a Gem, you’ll still need to do that on the Gemini website. To get started with Gemini in Google Workspace, just click the “Ask Gemini” (spark button) in the top-right corner. Google said that the Gems feature rollout is an extended rollout which means it might take more than 15 days to get the feature. Admins out there do not need to do anything and there are no specific admin controls in the side panel for Gems or Gemini.
    • Microsoft changes hit Teams Android devices: Disable Entra ID policy to restore sign-in by Paul Hill As part of its Secure Future Initiative, Microsoft has deployed a new Entra ID Conditional Access policy targeting Device Code Flow authentication. Unfortunately, it has led some Microsoft Teams-certified Android devices (Teams Rooms on Android, Teams Phones, Teams Panels, and Teams Displays) to be logged out and signing back in can be a bit fiddly so guidance has been shared. Microsoft said that it shared previous guidance which explained how to exclude Android devices, but it seems some admins didn’t catch this as many devices were not excluded and have been signed out. It’s important to realize that this is not a bug, it’s a security feature. However, the move could have been better communicated. To sign the devices back in, you can do so manually. However, if the devices are remote you’ll need to follow these steps: By disabling the “Block device code flow” policy in step 1, it will change everything back to how it was before Microsoft decided to enable it to boost security. This will allow you to get those affected Android devices logged back in again. Also pay special attention to step 2 which says you might need to reboot your device three times. Once you have your Android devices logged in again, it’s probably a good idea to follow Microsoft’s previous guidance and add these to an exclusion list before re-enabling the “Block device code flow” policy. Microsoft recommends only allowing DCF where it’s absolutely necessary and then blocking it elsewhere. The best thing to do is to add your Teams Android device to the exclusion list - this will allow these devices to operate normally, while boosting overall security. If you’re an admin and have been impacted by this, be sure to take proactive measures to avoid disruptions in the future.
