I had a problem with my PS3 slim power supply.. suddenly I couldn't play games and it would shut itself down instantly.. it depended on the game how long it would function.. I fixed it by tuning the over current protection screw.. don't know if this is on a PS3 fat..

http://computerhelpandrepairs.freetrafficboost2.com/tutorial-how-to-fix-your-ps3-slim-shutting-down-automatically-after-few-minutes-of-use.html

I read a comment saying that it depends on the power supply model so it could be different from the ps3 fat.



 

Bet with gooch_destroyer, he wins if FFX and FFX-2 will be at $40 each for the vita. I win if it dont

you probably need to replace the thermal compound - I had similar issues with my launch PS3 after some years, but since I replaced it with arctic cooling MX2 thermal compound it works fine


Could you still watch movies and play certain games. Anyways someone here already told me that I should replace the thermal compound paste. But before that I got to get a decent internet connection and buy the paste.

Seems like the beginning of the end to me. Are you under warranty?

Please dont go there it will still live :,(

 

Nope I had my ps3 since 2009 and I used up my warranty with Sony on the third day since I brought my ps3 to remove a straw my little sister put inside the disc slot. 

did you try playing the game on another user? try that, if it doesnt work i would try turning your ps3 back to factory settings, make sure that you hard drive doesnt get erased and you have your account backed up and know the username/password/date of birth. i would recommend taking it to sony to check it out though

My brother can play FFXIII on his account just fine. I can save my backup with all my avatars, pics, wallpapers on a used, but I cant backup some of my game save data like all EA games and Demons Souls. Thats why I need online to get psn+ for the cloud storage. 

 

Edit: Sony takes forever and im not sure if they do checkups for free. Ant got that warranty sticker

You have a phat PS3...Yellow light...turning off...these are all signs of the YLOD. Yellow Light of Death.
Your PS3 is done. You can send it to Sony so they can reapply the thermal paste or you can get a new PS3.

IMO you should get a new PS3 since any repairs won't last very long.
