When I was shutting down the PS3 today, the PS3 froze while quitting during a game and then it crashed. After the crash, I turned on the PS3 and I got the message that says that the PS3 was not shut down correctly and that the ps3 would check for corruption. Once I do it goes to the black screen where it checks for any corruption and it keeps resetting over and over again in the black screen that says that the ps3 will restart and fix the corruption. As if something causes the ps3 to restart while it is searching for the corruption.

My PS3 still works simply by saying ignoring the message when the ps3 checks for the corruption, but I am worried if that means that there is something wrong in my PS3 that the PS3 is not able to fix. what should I do? is this error normal.

not surees maybe your living in the countries with xtend repairs i now europ is 2 years but if bouhgt xtend warranties then mite be long?
I do not think that would work, I have cfw which automatically cancels warranty. I have rebug 4.81. I am wondering if I could fix this by switching to another firmware or something

Sounds to me like you have some kind of file/hdd corruption that the file restore function isn't agree with. If you can't get it to work properly, I would at least try reinstalling CFW again, starting with a freshly formatted hdd. If the problem still persists, then you can start thinking of it as some kind of hardware related issue.

I've had it happen recently by having to hold the power button for 30 seconds to power the console off and getting the corruption message. I just reinstalled the same rebug cfw and it fixed it. I also rebuilt the database.

Do as mentioned above. If the system is booting fine you don't have any "corruption" it's just having a strange issue with scanning the drive. See the only reason this is troubling is that may indicate a potentially failing hard drive. It's hard to be sure without hooking it to a computer and testing it.... either way if the problem disappears after doing as mentioned I would recommend you try backing everything up before formatting the hard drive on a PC and using whatever you would typically use to check your drive. There are a range of tools for a variety of Operating systems pick your poison. If the drive checks out restore your PS3 and see if the issue persists. If it does try a new drive all together. If after that you still have an issue seek further help.

And if you do have some kind of corruption it'd likely be in an app/game you were running at the time of the crash. In short if formatting doesn't solve it the drive is likely toast. Just be sure to backup your game saves and purchased games/licenses and any other media you have installed before the format.

    I installed a Windows XP ISO onto a VM and used a fake product key, as does everybody else, so my best bet is that it's either a false positive or Windows XP having terrible security.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    The product key generator could be tied to mailware like mentioned in the links
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    No, just found product keys in a list on archive.org
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    whatevs, Security removed it from my device
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    There you go
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, Cloud scanners often interpret machine learning to understand the inner workings of a program and checks to see if functionality compares to how malware operates. Hence why it's not always accurate and you get false positives such as W32.Wacatac.

  • ZucchiniMaiden @ ZucchiniMaiden:
    It's interesting that the ISO came with the browser though, is it also pre-loaded with other stuff?
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    now, back to what I was doing last night: going insane because Firefox can't set the new tab page to your custom new tab page-- apparently as a security issue
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yes that was also mentioned in the links I posted
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    @ZucchiniMaiden No no, it was a blank install of XP, I installed the software afterwords lol
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I would not recommend using a product key generator to generate keys, you can find em on the internet relatively easy. And as for Windows XP keys, a certain GitHub page has them. :P

    @Kirbydogs That makes more sense. Lol.

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    Now, hmm...
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    Is there a Firefox feature in like maybe about:config to change the new tab page to the home page?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Settings > Home > Change 'New Tabs' to anything.

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    "New Tabs" only has Firefox Home or Blank Page
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, There's the Windows Genuine Advantage that got implemented in SP3 if I remember which checked the license of your Windows installation to see if the key was either pirated or whether it's been activated.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Hav nt had an issue with their milk but bought creamer and it was like cottage cheese

    It got a lot of controversy because it acted in a way like spyware, but really who cares, Microsoft likes to spy on you.

    If you can't download windows directly from Microsoft always expect risks never know what user could leave out during re-upload

    Unless you got a physical copy of a os which can be found at thrift shops
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Always expect risks on outdated versions of Windows, there's probably a dozen or more vulnerabilities for XP that haven't been patched after the Blue exploit.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I get the retro vibe of it but he's using a vm worst case just right click delete kind of crazy not to be using up to date software if your system can handle it
