So, recently I've been playing through and platinuming all of the PS3 Kingdom Hearts games, but during Birth By Sleep, my PS3 froze (all sound stopped, no buttons on the console worked, and I was left with a still image of the last frame). Now, since then, I've been testing a lot of things and I've figured out the following:
1. It freezes after 1 hour, 34 minutes, no matter what.
2. If I reset the console before the 1:34 mark, it will last another 1:34. I successfully replicated this for 10 cycles in a row.
3. I've opened it up and cleaned out every bit of dust and applied a new layer of thermal past, but it still happens.
4. I don't think it's overheating, because #3 and it only gets as hot as it always has. The fan works and I'm not getting any yellow light or anything.
5. It crashes no matter what. Be it in a game (disc or downloaded), video, music playback, just sitting on the XMB, etc.
6. I tried installing a brand new hard drive, but the same problem persisted.
7. I've run all of the safe mode options to no avail.
Notes: I'm on 4.7, PS3 fat 80GB not b/c
So, does anybody here think they can help me fix this or even just figure out what the problem is?
Thanks.
