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?

    • What annoys me is the people that try to buy a higher end product, and then low ball you, and say but I don't need that function, all I need is to use it for video out so I don't feel like paying higher price.   I had a person that was trying to buy RTX 3080 from me for $100 and his excuse was, well I won't be playing games on it, I just need four monitor outout. Or someone was trying to buy 2TB Gen5 M.2 for $50, well I don't need the speed, is just for basic storage. Or i was offered $80 for 20TB hard drive, that person said well, right now I only about 7TB, so rest won't be in use Just some examples in last month or two...   The guy with the 3080, I replied to with something like go to Chevy dealer and offer them $15K for that brand new corvette and tell them that you you only need to drive to work, so you don't need to go fast.   There a lot of low ballers that try to take advantage.

    • Here in Finland we have lots of rural areas with narrow roads, one of the highest taxes in the world (cars are taxed way above EU standards) and fuel is quite expensive. Yet we educate our drivers to drive responsibly and safely in all areas, and our people respect each others rights and freedom to move around safely. Which is why we have even small children under 10 years old walking and cycling alone to schools in the streets, even in big cities. Safety is about being responsible and about respecting others. And I would hate to see AI (or anyone else) destroy our way of life. There are and always will be outliers, accidents happen and machines break. I dont't want to see people relying on AI to do things like driving for them. I want people to think and react to the world around them themselves, and being responsible instead of them browsing TikTok or whatever instead of looking out the window, and then saying that "It wasn't me, it was the car". Already people walk around town with their eyes glued to a screen – I don't want people driving around the same way.
    • And I should hope none will. I don't want to walk ouside to have some randome AI drive over me and mine. Not that I want a person to do it either but I want there to be an actual person who takes responsibility of their actions instead of relinquishing control to a machine. In some highways I can accept self-driving, but even then there should be some kind of dead man switch etc. that actually monitors the drivers status.
