of having and owning my Ps3 day one 60gb system,
it's been overheating a lot, as of lately,
to the point of shutting down by itself
after just about 30 minutes of play.
It only works well continuously, if I play it late at night,
and when it's really really cold.
It kicks into this hella LOUD fan mode,
and then displays an overheating message,
then it shuts down by itself without warning,
and the red power light blinks over and over again....
WTF.
Why is it overheating so often, and so easily?
Does this mean that my 60gb ps3 system,
is on the heels of *knock on wood* (gulp) failing?
Why is the 60gb system so plagued with problems???
Damnit. I don't have a Ps2, never did,
so the only way I ever get to play Ps2 cds
is through this Complete Backwards compatible system.
I don't want to lose it, even though I have exactly
5 Ps3 systems in my house.....(2 that are non working).
I upgraded this Ps3 to 500gbs and have sooooooo many
game saves and files on it. Damn,
guess I have to run the Data Utility onto my external HDD
just in case......
Any of you own a 60gb PS3 Phat,
and encounter any problems with it,
such as overheating?
What are some of your prevention techniques?
