Playstation 3 40 Gig Freezes

My playstation 3 40 gig freezes randomly it could be 10 min. or 20 min. I was reading that it could have been because of the 2.40 firmware update. But, I recently updated to 2.41 and 2.42. I did the fan test. I restored all the defaults and I did a reformat. But doing a reformat does not get rid of the firmware. So how do I get this problem.

Console freezes during game play only way to turn it off is by the swith on the back it is a 40 gig model with a 60 gig hdd installed

i dont really think the HDD change matters.the fault might be from the game you are playing,probably the disc or something.please give a more vivid description of what happens.and the game you are playing too.

Computer freezes after about 10 mins !

It is possible the power supply is now too small for the number of loads you now have.Not sure what your CPU is ,but I bet it is 80 watts just by itself. The minimum wattage requirement or the video card by itself is 300 watts.Add the drives,ram,fans and mobo and you way underpowered.
