PS3 problem

[ms9cw]

One of my PS3s is locking up within a few minutes of being switched on, even after being left off for a long while. No error message, just screen corruption. This machine had being going OK for some weeks 24/7 crunching (it had done 87 WUs. Anyone else had this trouble with a PS3? My other one did lock up as well but since rebooting has been working fine for the last few days.

Have you tried a hard reset?

I only get one beep, followed by a second beep and the unit turining itself off. The PS3 is still doing something when the screen freezes, because I can hold the Power button on and it will go through the shutdown sequence.

Sony offered to replace it for £215 because I got it off eBay and don't have the original receipt (therefore it's regarded as secondhand).

Does it actually freeze while its in the gameOS or when you start the fah client? or both?

The amount of time it runs depends on how long it is left switched off. But it hangs both in the F@H Client and in the main menu.
