Ps3 Continuously Shuts Off When Playing Games

What causes a PS3 to continually crash?

I've found a few things that cause or contribute to game slow downs and crashes or system shutdowns, If the hard drive doesn't have much free space I find network features slow down and sometimes don't work as well as they could, syncing trophies and accessing the store can take a really long time.Playing some games on high difficulty can cause the system to freeze, Dragon Age Origins for me was a Nightmare to play on Nightmare, I spent so much time resetting the PS3 and loading up the game again it was just laughable looking back. Games occasionally hang on loading screens, I'm not sure why. I've always made a habit of keeping two save files where possible especially when games autosave while loading, I've had the occasional issue where save files become corrupted when the system freezes that way, if you manually save two save slots it can be a pain, but you don't have to start from scratch if your file is corrupted.Hardware problems, my first PS3 had a problem with the motherboard, the symptoms of which were random crashes, freezing and flat out shutting down, but there's plenty of problems your PS3 could develop that aren't quite as serious as that.

Why is my PS3 controller blinking red lights?

It sounds like it's lost it's Bluetooth pairing with your console.It's easy to fix.Just plug the controller into the PS3 using a usb cable and hit the PS Button. It should stop blinking and assign itself to a port.You can unplug it after that.

How do I get my brother off video games?

First off, let me say that I am not an expert in this matter on any level. However, I do have some experience in this subject.My husband is an avid gammer, and I enjoy it myself. When we first got married he picked up WoW, and boy did it cause issues. He was playing every night as soon as he got home from work, all weekend, ignoring dinner time, and was even late to work on a few occasions when he tried to play in the morning before leaving. I was feeling ignored, and I resorted to increasingly drastic measures. I would slam his laptop close, unplug the wifi, I once even cut the power to the house. Of course, none of that worked, it just started massive fights.So, after our son was born, I sat down with him and told him I want going to take care of a baby by myself while he closeted himself with his computer. Once he understood how neglected I had been feeling we worked out a schedule. He agreed he could play from the time he got home until dinner was ready, but dinner time until the baby went to bed was family time. And to keep night times free, we agreed that game time would be limited to every other night, and only one day on the weekend.It wasn't perfect, but it was a compromise that everyone could live with. My husband even managed to get me into WoW for a while, and we had a really great group of friends that we played with, so even that became bonding time. Sit down with your boyfriend, and explain to him how you feel. If he really cares about you, then together you can work something out.

My PS4 is overheating excessively. How can I fix it?

So this worked for me, it might for some of you and it might not for others. My PS4 is a launch model from the day it came out back in 2013, so it has been out of warranty for two years now.Recently, my PS4’s fan also stopped working - as a result it overheats rapidly and shuts off. I recently took it to a friends house, so I wondered if something was damaged in transit. While powering up, I could hear the fan attempt to turn on, but it made a click as if something was jamming it or getting in its way of spinning.I initially decided to just shoot compressed air into the vents as I thought a big chunk of dust was jamming the fan. However, a gut intuition told me to open up the machine - as it was now long out of warranty, voiding it was no longer a concern. When I got it open, I spun the fan manually with my finger - there was a little bit of resistance at first, but it made a “click” and spun free again. It seemed that the fan was out of alignment and was caught up against something, by manually moving the fan it snapped back into place and was free to function again.Long story short, it appears the PS4’s fan can be knocked out of place during transport.
