PS3 Freeze? (Help Solve PLEASE!)

Hi My PS3 freeze like few times in a weak... Sometime i play COD Black Ops, it freeze and whe ni play COD ModernWare 2 it doesnt freeze... What's making the PS3 freeze in COD Black Ops or what's making PS3 Freeze? BTW sometime and it happen a lot of time, the Black Ops in zombie, when i play with other people and game start, it freeze(Black Screen) I waited few minutes(3-8 Min) and the screen was black... I have to turn off the Back(Instant power off) I lost some data(Currupted Saves)... Is there any ways to solve this PS3 freezing problem? This also happen to one of my friend's PS3 too.......

 

Its happening to mine too, sometimes when I boot up the system or boot up a game, sometimes when trying to watch a DVD. It was fine, but when the 3.50/3.51 update came out thats when the problems started.

 

Well SO I cant solve but wait for an update? This freeze pisses me off... Cant even play Call Of Duty:Black ops(Only thing/game makes my PS3 Freeze)

 

Mine freezes now as soon as you boot up. And I really only use it for one game Gran Turismo 5. So trying to debate if its even worth buying a new console

 

what kind of freeze is it? 100% lockup with no sound?

I'm having a similar issue.

 

Someone needs to hack the new firmware; that is the only way that sony will release firmware updates these days.

 

Its weird mine will freeze but I can still eject and insert disc. It wont freeze during a game. It'll just go black or freeze when booting up or in the XMB. I have a feeling its the firmware cause I had no issues before

 

I don't remember... There's an update like yesterday from now... i think it solved the problem... the game haven't freeze like after the update...

 

Yeah, Im sure... it's firmware... New games get F*** up at first but pretty soon it's ganna get better with updates... Im guessing the new updates for games(Like COD black Ops update when i first insert it) it wasn't capable with the PS3 FirmWare i guess...

 

I think I fixed mine. I tried doing the update (v3.55) but would freeze at 18%. So I had nothing to lose, I did a heatgun fix and put it back together, booted up and was able to do the new update so hopefully with the heatgun fix and the new FW solved it. Even if I can get by till spring to buy a new one, just don't have the money to do it now.

 

could be ur laser on the way out same thing happened to mine would freeze while playing black ops now it wont read any discs at all ordered new laser still waitin for it

 

The firmware solved my problem .... No freezing anymore!

 

What's a heatgun? 2.5inch HDD? Oh BTW people, can i install a new firmware or something into a new 2.5 inch hard drive disk? Just wanna know!

 

ok so i have black ops and have had it since the release day i have had nothing but truble and i know that this is in beta but my playstation plays the game but when i go online it then freezes and i cant do a thing i mean wtf and it only started freezing when i got the sony playstation update today on the 14/12/2010 please can someone help as its screwing with my head

 

Well, the problem is either your PS3(go restore settings - all settings, might be the problem if not format it unless you have other saves and dont want to format...) or it's Firmware, Please Contact PS(PlayStation) official site(I dont know it lol) if nothing works...

 

Are people having this freezing because of the jailbreak, or do people even without jailbreaks have this issue?

 

People here are without JailBreak(I think)... It's a game "Call Of Duty: Black Ops" have a problem or it's the PS3... Needed some help with PS3 freeze but not, it's not freezign on mine after latest firmware update...

 

Oh ok so its not a jb thing. Ermmmm, that sucks. As long as its fixed though.

 

finally got my new laser replaced the old one and hooray i'm back up and running

 

So, did you took the led off and Sh**? What it looks like, a Blu-Ray player? where you bought it? Just wanna know what you replaced with...
