When I use my PS3 for about 2-3 hours sometimes even less, It keeps crashing, it beeps 3 times and blinks red. It happens rarely in the first hour, but more than an hour it dies. It happens 30%-40% of the time.
So What seems to be happening?
 
OK, turn it on. Leave it on for about a half hour and listen to how loud the fan is. Turn it off, take it apart, clean the dust out, put it back together, then listen to the fan again. If there's no change in how loud it is, overheating is not the problem.

I'll try it out

I turned it on and it immediately turned itself off. the 3 beeps then the blink. So overheating might not be it. but I haven't checked the fans yet.

I have no clue what it is. :indiff: Just keep stealth-bumping this thread until somebody with a little more knowledge responds. And I was wondering why you didn't accept my FR so I could dupe paints to you. :lol:
