PS3 is starting to freeze

So I've been playing more often on my PS3 (like every day to every other day 2-3 hrs). And sometimes when I use the XMB my PS3 freezes. idk if this is a bad thing or not? I know everyone's froze time to time, but this is the second time it froze today.

I'm on the XMB about to activate my headset, and then the PS3 froze. After like 3 minutes it started working again, so I thought I'd power it off through the controller. When I held the PS button, the menu came up, but it froze AGAIN. Yea so that basically happened twice...my PS3 freezes on the XMB. And its happening more often... any advice or ideas?

make sure its not overheating.if it is hot. then move it to a open area, dont put it in cabnets . make sure it gets plenty of air

Here is the million dollar question...do you have it in a closed area..??? If so that's your problem, the Ps3 needs to be(as with any console) in a well ventilated area.If you are still having problems...call Sony. I've had mine since 11/17/06 and it's been working fine.Everyday it gets used for something...Games...movies...Blu-ray....folding home...music...and a few other things I can't think of right now. Of course I don't use all of those functions everyday, but it does get used and I don't have any issues with freezing.
