Hi there,
is there a flashing orange/red light on the front of the console when this happens? If so, then i'm afraid you have the FOD(Flash of death) problem. You can try holding down the power button on the front until it switched off agian just to reset it. If this does'nt work, i'm afraid you will need to get it repaired :( Hope this helps

My screen appeared a red screen,why? and how to solve that?

Did your screen also show a message, in many different languages?

I have had this happen to me a few times while watching movies. Restarting the Playstation seems to correct the issue. I do not know the direct cause.

Red screen: "a serious error has occured"

This is called the "PS3 Red Screen Of Death" it's the same as the 360's RROD. The best solution would be to contact Sony about it and they should resolve the issue.

PS3 is "on", red screen has occurred with a error warning

this is probably an warning about problems with your hardware (such as gpu or ram modules) .
The only thing you can do is taking the system to an assistance centre for hardware checking, they will test all the components of the system .

if your system is covered by warranty, don't waste time and call sony as soon as you can !!

unfortunately, there isn't any firmware solution to fix it, because all system functionality is prejudiced.
the only thing you can do (i belive it wont work), is reseting av settings by holding the on;off button when starting up the system .
