My PS3 sometimes stops reading BlueTooth devices, why?

[twesterm]

Well I tried new cables and I have things plugged into two different wall sockets and so far so good, though I didn't get a chance to use my PS3 much yesterday.  I had the problem again where it wouldn't accept any BlueTooth devices but that was before I switched cables so we'll see.  I'm still trying to get a platinum on Uncharted (almost done with hard difficulty, about 55 treasures, and most of the other achievements done except for grenade hangman) so I'll get a chance to play it some more.

The screen going black might be the cables but the gray flashes usually mean a burnt out graphics card.

When the gray flashes happened last night I had hoped maybe it was just the random bug because I did restart the game before quitting and it seemed to work fine but I did also have my PS3 on just about all day either playing games or watching movies.  It didn't feel too hot back there but it's not in an as ventilated place as before either (still should be ventilated enough though).

 

Well at least you know as well as I that this happens. AS PC gamers we know GPUs can burn out quite randomly.

Yeah, I actually had a graphics card burn out on my Dell XPS laptop last year (weeks after my warranty went out and would cost $800 to fix it).
