Starts up then completely freezes

When I switch my console on, it loads up to the main screen and then completely stops. It doesn't respond to anything I do then. Does my hard drive need formatting or what could the sollution be?

Turn your PS3 on, and have your TV on the correct input. Go to the "GAME" icon on the XMB, and select "GAME DATA UTILITY".
***NOT SAVED DATA UTILITY****
Find the game that you are having trouble with and press triangle, then select delete. (You are not deleting your game information don't worry, its just the update for the game).Start the game back up like you normally would, and re-download the update that is prompted when starting the game. You are done!

Playing MLB the Show on PS3. Game loads fine, franchise I've been playing loads fine. But once I try to play a game, bar starts as game loads then game cuts off and goes to main PS3 screen.

Is your CD dirty or does it have any cracks? It might just be the problem. Otherwise, it could be corrupt game data. Clean the disc, if it still doesn't work I'd try deleting the game utility data and re-downloading it. Hope this helps in some way or another.

Screen freeze.

two work-around methods for those consumers who are experiencing the "freeze" issue: 1) Remove or disable the HDD
or,
2) Load three different Xbox 360 games to the main title screen of each game then load Major League Baseball 2K6 on Xbox 360. All three Xbox 360 games must be completely different before loading Major League Baseball 2K6.

After switch on button activation Dell logo appears with load progress bar stopping 1/2 way and screen freezes. The F2 and F12 buttons options at bottom right of the screen do not respond. Tried using...

The first check you could make is if every component is correctly plugged.
When the pc starts it makes a control of all components before booting. You may want to check also internal components.
For this reason is also useful to know if when the pc starts it does only one "beep" or a "beep code" (for instance one long and one short "beep" or two long "beeps" ecc)
If everything is correctly plugged it may be a motherboard problem.
Let us know if you solved your problem

PC MW2 freezes after loading main screen?

If you have the freezing error this happens because the soldering between the GPU and the CPU is coming loose and to fix it you need to stop the heat, you can fix this yourself from home or send it in and they will fix it for you.

When my DS starts up it just stops

There is a transistor/ fuse on the motherboard that causes this,
it is not allowing the current to properly flow and then it gets hot and freezes up the system. I have replaced a few and would be happy to do it for you.
Thanks,
