3 Beeps, Major PS3 Issue - HELP needed!

I hear three beeps sometimes two, this happens usually when the ps3 freezes. ive encountered a freeze maybe 5 times in more then a year (launch ps3) and when its frozen and u turn it off manually it beeps once and then the light blinks and then it beeps three times and then it shuts off, ive never thought much of this though.

Did this only happen once and is it good now? or does it keep happening?

If you have Assassin's Creed in (along with autoplay discs on) without an active Internet connection, this may be the reason. I know this isn't with all cases, but it was with a friend of mine. The game kept trying to look for the update.

Three beeps should be something you hear normally when shutting down the PS3. Just make sure the PS3 is in standby mode (red light) before you EVER decide to flip the on/off switch in the back off.

If all else fails, have you ever had the PS3 connected to an HDTV, or changed the settings to HDTV settings, and then switched to SD, or vice-versa? If so, "...you may find you have a blank screen. Simply reset your PLAYSTATION 3 to restore the default SD setting in the following way: turn off the PLAYSTATION 3 system then press and hold the power button for approximately 5 seconds until you hear a beep."

If pressing the PS button doesn't turn the console on, it should if it's connected with a USB cable. The bluetooth may have been wonky at the time that your PS3 was last shut off.
