The reason I ask that is because I once left my PS3 on and forgot about it during an extremely hot day in the upstairs of my home. The heat gets unbearable at times and the PS3 ended up overheating.

With the fan test people claim that the fans go berserk due to overheating, but from my experience I have found that the PS3 has an auto shutdown feature where it shuts down when the heat gets to the point where it could cause irreversible damage.

i saw a video on youtube of a guy with a white ps3. he does the test. then the system does the synonymous 3 beeps and turns off. then turns on fine afterwards. probably what you are talking about
