Recently my ps3 has been freezing a lot on Madden 10 and getting these" lines from the sky to the ground" they are not a part of the game as this occurs for almost every game...online and offline... i 1st noticed this in Assasins Creed 2 as it had a lot of the lines....i checked wether this was affecting any other part of my ps3, but no it only happens during Games, nothing during movies or browsing the web. Thank You and Hopefully you can help! I am willing to pay 20$ us paypal to anyone who could help me solve this problem
I had a similar issue with my old console, it was a fat 80GB also.
Turns out, the graphics card was fried. Yours may be on its way out.
*First, try different games. (I see you said you have done so) Does it happen when you play downloaded games/demos or only on a disc game? (this can help determine whether it is the disc drive or another problem)
*Second, try different HDMI/RCA cables
If none of these options help then you may also be victim to a dying video card. It sucks.
No need to make donation, I like to think of this community as a place we can help each other out free of charge. It's silly you had to mention that to get attention. :p
Best of luck!

Never use a regular vacuum to clean the dust.
It's all good and well with no problems you might say but all it takes is one mistake for the static to shock your love.
Just a warning :bro:
