It may be you don't have the PS3's video settings set up to go 480i (or 480p for those that can go that def) when playing PS2 games.

My PS3 makes fun of me when I try to load a PS2 game. I then remind it that there are only 2 PS3 games I have and I'm bored of those. It accepts it with a sigh, but I'm going to surprise it with VF5 today. It should be happy.

Try resetting it by holding down the on button (and keep held) while turning it on in the back. Sounds like Sony support. Better back up your saves, I'm sure they will have you format the hard drive.

I'd call Sony first. I would back up your saves before calling them though. They have good support and might have you try something else first. Formatting the drive would be a last resort.
