(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); When I boot up my PS3, I get the blue screen of death, and then, afterwards, "Sony Believe" pops up. Is anyone else having this problem? It looks like a new update needs to be released Not Happy or Sad


The problem was fixed afterward, but when I went to change how the words looks (Rounded, Pop), then no words was showing, and I had to reset my PS3. After doing that, the same screen popped up (bsod, make believe), and I had to set everything the way it was before. It also popped up when I tried to watch a movie, and if I tried to exit the movie, it was stuck on a black screen Not Happy or Sad

That a different problem you need to reset your video settings.

1. Freezes the PS3.

2. I tried it once, and it froze the PS3.

3. Either the PS3 freezes ("loads" for a while), or it does nothing.

4. Haven't tried.

5. Freezes the PS3.

Put it in recovery mode then go to rebuild database

if that dosent work then update it with the same or newer firmware

HDMI is in. Rebuild database does nothing ("loads" forever), or it did nothing when I tried it.

I give up, my PS3 is practically dead.
