Since yesterday, my PS3 has been giving me issue. It liked to shut off by itself without warning and it takes a bit to get it working again. Hako used my "air in a can" and got some dust out, but that didn't do anything to help.

Anyone have any ideas as to what is wrong?

EDIT: For anyone who wants to add me if/when I get this problem solved:

@_@ Call Sony? Are you still under warranty?

Is it getting really hot? Whenever I've had a computer that did things like that it would get hot, and it would turn out that some piece or another inside was cracked or broken. Or maybe something just needs that silver paste stuff? We need Andrew in here.

I wouldn't recommend opening a PS3 unless it's out of warranty or it's already been modded. The only folks authorized to work on those are Sony employees, so you may be stuck calling them.

I talked to my friends at EB Games, he said it might be an issue with so many people getting on MW2, but I told him I don't even get on any games and it would shut off on me. It feels it might be a problem with the hard drive, in which case can cost me around $150. Another told me since my PS3 is 1st generation, I could get about $300 for it, which I can always use towards one of those slim ones, but I love my PS3, it's one of the first out that can do everything, I also have it decorated with vynl stickers from Valkyrie Profile (VP Fanboy).
