Ive had my fat ps3 40g reballed with leaded solder. Temps while playing gta are around 55-60deg with fan utility set to 65-70%

Recently my console has been turning off randomly while modding gta online.

Temps are always good when it happens and when I had the reball done the gpu and cpu tested out really well.

So what else can cause these random annoying shutdowns with red flashing light?

Could my PSU be sus or overheating turning the system off? if it was the harddrive it just wouldnt work at all would it?

Im thinking about taking the case off tonight and feel the temp of the psu while playing and when it happens.

Its so frustrating sometimes I get hours of play other times it happens as soon as I get online lol

Anyway I can test the psu?

If I sit idle on the xbm menu it doesnt seem to do it so is the psu effected by load??

Thanks for any help.
