Hi there. If this isn't the correct (or best) forum to post this please redirect me. I've got an 80gig ps3, about 2 years old, and I'm having an unusual freezing issue and would love some help. It freeze everytime I do one of 2 things:


1) I start the game and the game loads up just fine. I can play the game no problem. However, when I try to and sign in while the game is playing, it freezes. Screen goes black, have to hit the switch.


2) I sign in first. It allows me to sign in, no problem. But if I try to start the game while signed in, it won't let me start the game, it just freezes.


So bottom line, this issue will not allow me to play a game and be signed in at the same time. I can do one or the other, just not both. It's very strange and so specific, it almost sounds like a virus. Can anybody help me out? I've tried to do a system update. It updated just fine, issue still stands. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,


Shant D.

it might not solve the problem, but at least it will give you hardware diagnostics.

I'm on wifi, and for the last 2 years its worked fine. I'll try going wired though I'm skeptical that's the issue. Remember it connects just fine, I can sign in with no problem...as long as there's no game running. It almost seems like an intentional issue preventing online gameplay.
