My psp turns off whenever i play a game; when i turn it back on, it restarts and brings me to the home screen. i bought it about a year ago from Sam's Club and its the old psp model (dont remember the model name). can someone help me fix it or tell me the problem?

Theyre called PSP Fats. But it could be your firmware, depending on what game you have it should tell you to update if you dont have the right firmware. Try using a different game, then if that doesnt work then try replacing your battery or updating. If none of this works it's most likely your reader, which you could probably find the salvaged parts on ebay somewhere and replace it yourself but thats not recommended if you don't know what your doing.

i found on other websites that you should never touch the surface of the disc. if you do, it will start acting wierd and the only way to fix it is to clean it with the cloth. i tried it but it still restarts, any other ways to fix it...please...:cry:
