Your PS3 may be overheating. Check the exhaust of the ps3 where the hot air comes out for any excessive dust. If you have a 60GB PS3, you can blow them out by turning off the PS3 by the back switch and then turning it on using the back switch with you finger on the eject button. The PS3 should beep 3 times and your fans should go at full tilt for about 30sec to 1 min.

I was playing fallout then it just shut off on me what happened?

1. First, ensure that you are using the original file of the game.
2. It seems there have been issues with fallout 3.
3. It seems the game freezes, blacks out several times during the game.
3. They have released a patch to fix the issue.
4. Go check out for the fallout patch for playstation 3 to fix this issue.
5. After this, you should be fine with the game.

Happy gaming! :)

PS3 red light blinking

I have heard of some people that have the same problem and if you just barely got the console i would give Sony replace it or fix the problem. Usually when you buy the console you have like 1year limited warranty on it. Just as long as you did not attempt to open up the console yourself that is. Let me know how that works out.

My ps3 won't turn on anymore....

Try holding the power button on the ps3 for about 10seconds. It should beep as it normally would turning on, carry on holding the button until it restarts. This should restart the ps3 in standard mode and you should be able to play again.
