i have my ps3 for a complete year now. And till 3 days ago i have no problems with it sometimes playing for 3, 4 hours or more. But this last weak i play 20, 30 minutes and it simply turn off the red light is no longer red it is as if the ps3 just dosent have power any longer and to solve it i have to disconnect and connect again the ps3 to the electrical outlet.

do you knnow what can it be?

Have you tried different outlets? I never heard of a PS3 completely shutting off like that.

Overheating is the most likely thing, maybe you live in a hot climate where your PS3 is just cooking inside out? Maybe clogged up with dust, could try cleaning it if your out of warranty...

You may be one of the unlucky ones who actually got a ylod on you Slim. I have seen at least one video of a Slim getting the ylod and the owner was really pissed.

My neighbors 120GB did the same thing, and it turned out to be a bad power supply. His did it right out of the box though, but the shutting down and no red light sounds similar.
