-Unable to breath
What I mean is it has no area to release the heat. If your PS3 is on the carpet it will get to hot. Very hot. That's what causes the death of the console. To avoid overheating you must put your system somewhere where the system will not overheat. For example place the system somewhere elevated where it will not get too hot like in a cabinet or table that holds up your TV.
-Burnouts
Not the game or the drift move I mean the overheating. Inside the system is are boards that split the graphics to give you the looks of the game and what you see on your television screen. When you play four hours straight the board is exhausted. What you need to do is play one hour take a break then continue. By break I mean stop playing, shut down and unplug power supply. Wait 15 minutes not 15 seconds.
-Blu-ray Failure
Blu-ray failure is when the disc drive can't continue. This occurs when the disk drive is damaged. This can happen while playing to long or playing scratched disk. Listen to your Blu-ray drive. If you hear a constant reverse sound check your disk. If small scratches appear then don't worry but if large scratches appear down the length then that's a problem.
-Unsafe power down
Never shut down the PS3 by unplugging it. Instead completely quit out of the game then shut down off the XMB menu. This will allow the PS3 to fully process everything. Also if your on homebrew be careful as these also cause crashes.
Controllers
-Rage
I as a gamer can understand how all these noob AK74u fags can make me want to shiv a mother****er but just take a breather. These controllers are $50 each. Do you want to go out and buy a new one only to break that one later?
-Abusive relationship
While playing a game and dying the first instinct is to move the controller. This is also unsafe as I myself have accidentally thrown my controller in the air so be smart.
-Analog stick Grips
These grips are there to help you play better so don't lose them. If you have small children around they will immediately go for that part and rip it off.
-Enviroment
Well while playing at a friends house I noticed something. The furniture that held up his TV and PS3 was wood while mine is glass. I went in to unplug my PS3 to go back home and I noticed it was extremely hot after about an hour long session. Yet on my glass one my PS3 doesn't get hot for a long time.
I hope I helped as these tips will help save your system. Until then I will continue repairing PS3's for ridiculously high prices. :Carling:

Thanks for these tips. I might be uploading a picture soon so you can tell me if I have it in the right place. First I must get my camera back lol.
Some advice buy a glass table to hold it. The glass absorbs the heat and makes it less likely for the PS3 to overheat.

Yup, I know, but there is no glass table able to hold my 50 inch LCD lol I mean I lost the base when I moved so I have it anchored to a hard wood table. Maybe I can buy a glass just for the PS3...
