My PS3 suddenly shuted off....

Anyhow I was charging my 2 PS3 controllers, and as both of them had zero battery, I lefted them sit there charging for around 40-45min. I then recive a Message from a fried, read it. Then I let it sit there for a while longer since one of them still hasn't charged. When I am entering My room, I saw that the LCD suddenly turned black, and my PS3 made a loud noise when shutting down. When It did, It had a red light on... Turned it on again, sweating, and well it still works. It a 40GB PS3, And heck this scraed the HELL out of me, WHY did it shut down by itself? I am sweating cold here, worried about my PS3. Is this is remotly common? I mean what the hell happened?

no not really but i charge my controller on my pc usb ports, as long as it works i guess its all good. things happen KurupSoldr

How do you charge the controller vis pc usb ports? I tried it on mine but I presumed that it didn't work because the red light wasn't flashing.

Turn off + red light = overheat.

Loud noise = beats me.

I have a 60GB PS3 that Ive kept on before threw out the night so it could charge both controllers and my bluetooth....I just make sure to take out any disks and turn off the TV...

Its so quiet I forget its even on the next morning.

"Shutted off." *Shivers.* More power to you if you can really say that phrase so comfortably.

But yeah. I never had the problem, so I can't help.

same thing happened to my ps3 before, I turned it on, inserted the cd and after it went to the title screen, it just shutted off by itself, and I was like "wth!" so I just turned it back on and it worked perfectly fine, its still running smoothly till now, only happened once.... weird....

I think theres a feature when the controllers are done charging and the PS3 is idle, it will shut off the system. tmntPunchout

Really? Can Anyone confirm this? This would be THE relief for me... thx for future posts, and the guys that posted
