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?

    • Intel's 20-core Ultra 7 processor is now available with a massive discount by Taras Buria The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, Intel's latest 20-core desktop processor, is getting more affordable. Now, the chip is available on Amazon with a 36% discount, saving you $144, which you can spend on a higher-spec graphics card, better cooling, a bigger SSD, or some new games. If you want to build a computer with the discounted Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, you will need a motherboard with the LGA 1851 socket and 800 series chipset. The Core Ultra 7 265K has 20 cores, 8 of which are performance cores, and 12 are efficiency cores operating at lower clocks for less demanding tasks. Performance cores have the maximum clock speed of 5.4GHz, while efficiency cores peak at 4.6GHz. However, the processor is unlocked, which means you can push those clocks higher if you have enough cooling and a motherboard that supports overclocking. Speaking of cooling, the processor has a TDP of 125W. A cooler is not included in the box, so do not forget to add one to your shopping cart. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K has 30MB of level 3 cache (L3). It works with DDR5 memory (rated for 6,400 MT/s) and has a built-in graphics at 2GHz, which is enough for image output, media consumption, and all sorts of tasks that do not require a lot of GPU power. There is also a neural processing unit with 13 TOPS, which can handle on-device AI processing. Intel Core Ultra 7 Desktop Processor 265K 5.5 GHz - $259.99 | $144 off on Amazon US This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • It's stuff like this countries like Denmark are giving up by switching to Linux. Good luck to them.
    • I think a big part of it is developers have grown themselves too big and ballooned their budgets. It's the only way to show endless growth to investors between releases. Then they make massive investments in games designed for the bottom line hoping players follow instead of designing them for the players and hoping the bottom line follow in the way smaller, indie developers do. This often causes the games to fail to hook players. Instead they need to streamline development, lower budgets and sales forecasts, actually listen to gamer feedback, realize that social media doesn't dictate real world gaming tastes and habits, and overall learn to adapt instead of regurgitating the same formulas over and over.
    • Yea, I don't buy new, I always wait for games to be on clearance. I thank those with money and time to waste for funding the fun I'll have for a fraction of the price.
