so...
I was wondering if anyone else has this problem. I have a 60gb CECHA12 , kmeaw 3.55, and it doesn't seem to be able to handle some games, after i clean and change the thermal paste, With certain games it just turns off and has a red blinking light. I can always turn it back on, but it will turn off in a shorter amount of time unless I give it time. The problem started with Toy Story 3 and NBA 2k12. Is it just overheating and why these certain games? but for some games like, sleeping dogs,MW3 or some new game, i can play for hours, Also it's been doing this for awhile, so i mod the fan with pot, so i can adjust the speed, the problem was the same...is my fat going to YLOD?

ps : i did upgrade to rogero 4.30 v2.05, format the hdd, tried to recovery, tried to defrag the hdd...the problem still the same...

thanks...

this video explain everything...100% the same problem like mine...

It seems like this all started when you removed and applied new thermal paste. You could have put too much or too little... both will have the same results as the other... they result in overheating. Honestly I'd remove the thermal paste and reapply some arctic silver paste and only use the size of a pea or grain or rice and use a old credit card and apply it smoothly so there are no air bubbles in it.

If that doesn't solve the issue then I'd reckon that your ps3 will eventually YLOD.

thanks for replying...i did re-apply the thermal paste, with different brand though...arctic mx4, noctua nt-h1 and tuniq tx-2...same problem occure, yes with some method like rice grain, line, dots......oh well...reflow or maybe reball might help...i'm going to a repair shop now...coz i dont have the heat gun nor an oven...i'll update the result...

update 1 : so i was in a repair shop, owned by a friend of mine, we tested LA NOIRE...guess what! bam! shut down...and i search on google...interesting stuff i found...You must login or register to view this content....

update 2 : so the reflow with heat gun has been done...my friend called me on my cell [coz i went home], he told me that the PS3 went smooth with toy story 3 [no turned off it self] and i let him to do a stress test with my PS3, other games like LA Noire and Black Ops 2 are next test...i'll be back with update...
ps : some said that the trick with an oven will do too...anyway try look around, do it with caution and know the risk before...safety first...

update 3 : well....after two days...the only game that make my fat turned itself off suddenly "again"...is Toy Story 3...i call my friend who reflowed my ps3....he ask me to return to the shop...and do the reflow again for free...
