Thread: ps3 shutting down

for some reason my ps3 keeps on shutting down after like 10mins of game play with any game started to happen after i updated to new multiman anyone else getting this problem???

does it happen only when using multiman or does it happen in the xmb as well?

nope !!
delete multiman first.
then install any other manager and try to play the game using it.
best of luck !!

since it happens when you're already playing a game, this most likely is happening because of temperature issues not multiman. strange cause if this happened, your ps3 should have ylod now. try re-installing the fw, or keep the ps3 on xmb and see how long it lasts and report back

well it turns out it was overing heating but why would my ps3 ylod if its doing its job by shut down?? it would just shut off and would beep twice and blinking red no yellow lights O.o

yellow lights??

did your fans kick on really high before it shut off?

my ps3 has that fan mod i can controll the speed on it so that how i knew ps3 was over heating gave it more power and it fixed it but i took it apart added new thermal paste now its giving me the message system has become to hot only thing i replace was the psu put back the old one and message didnt come back O.o

you will only get that message if the the system turns itself off from overheating. so i dont think swapping out psu's did anything. i could be wrong tho cause those first gen metal psu got pretty dang hot. but hey if you got it back up and running then congrats to you sir.

yeah i take that back after ps3 is on or 20mins i get system has become to hot and the green lights starts blinking red but dosnt shut off the air isnt even worm and psu get really hot cant even touch it O.o
