Steps To Take to Deal With PS3 Freeze

Have you ever noticed that when a brand new console is launched into the marketplace, everyone finds out pretty quickly that the first generation has a lot of problems with it? It seems like that is more true today than ever when you look at the consoles that companies are releasing into the market. One problem with them seems to be that the companies are making them like computers, and everyone knows that computers can have a lot of problems. The PlayStation 3 is now exhibiting that very same trend. Can anything be done to prevent the PS3 freeze and make it work properly like it did when it was brand new?

One thing you should ask yourself is whether your PS3 freeze might be caused by too much heat. A lot of consoles have this problem and the PlayStation 3 seems to be especially vulnerable to freezing because of heat. This can happen to computers too. Heat can cause a freeze up or shutdown.

Here is something you can try to get it going again - Shut off the console for a few minutes and turn it on again. If you are lucky, this must might work. On the Xbox 360 when it was having a similar problem, some people said the console should be wrapped up in a towel and the towel would absorb the excess heat. This could actually cause a bigger problem because it would trap the heat even more. If you try it on your PS3 you could damage it even more, and it is not going to keep it from freezing.

Something else you should check for is whether any cables are loosened. A freeze could happen if the hard drive cable are not attached properly and is getting loose. Some of the other cables might be loose too, so check it out and see if you find anything. You might even want to take out the hard drive and put it back in, or maybe just replace the hard drive if you think that is where the problem is.

If none of these steps solve the problem, replace the cooling fan or put a cooling pad under the PS3. However, if this still does not solve the problem you will need to take more extreme steps. You will have to get a decent guide to help you with your PS3 freeze. You can find a lot of good guides on the internet but it can be tricky finding a good one that is a reasonable price.

If you are thinking of buying any product to fix your PS3 freeze situation, you should check out the user reviews first. It might seem like a lot of extra work, but if you get exactly the right guide, you will quickly be able to get your PlayStation 3 working like it is supposed to.
