So apparently my system files on my PS3 are completely corrupted according to the system everytime that I try to boot up my PS3. This happened about a year ago and had to do the factory reset. I believe called "system restore" in safe mode (the second one from the bottom). This of course erased everything, but it seemed to solve the problem. Fast forward to recently, after my father-in-law was in town for a week. Now, even the "system restore" doesn't work. The system will just freeze an hour or so after the restore.
Does anyone know if putting an new hard drive into the system will solve this issue? Or is my PS3 shot completely? I know a refurbed system is about $130 at gamestop, but would obviously rather swap out a new HDD for like $30. All of my game data is obviously gone at this point so that isn't a concern. Anyone with knowledge on this matter, some advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
