boden12 said: I'm rather new to the PS3, seeing as I've only had it for LESS THAN 2 WEEKS as I ordered a MGS4 80GB bundle from Amazon and received it June 12th. So I'm home for lunch (I live close to work) and fired up some MGS4 for a little bit of action during my break and after 10 minutes or so of play the video freezes, audio stops, an then the screen goes blank, the PS3 beeps and the green light switches over to the flashing red light!!

Additionally, right now it's a cool 67 degrees in my house!!

I feel your problem lies in the bolded text.
Being Toshiba, am i correct in assuming the power cable is on the left side of the unit when you look at it from the front?
i.e. the same side as the PS3's power supply AND HDD?
Someone posted a thermal pic of the PS3 in another thread and i can't find it now, and that is the warmest end of a PS3.
Remember that even when in standby mode wihtout being switched on current will still flow into your Toshiba HD-A1 possibly making it warm. That hot day i'm sure didn't help either!
I would advise you not to rest your PS3 on any electrical equipment whether on standby or not when you get it back from Sony
Good luck
