Well if you think your PS3 is overheating turn it off for a while but if the tv screen is flashing it might not be connected properly or something.

make sure your PS3 is not in a confined spot. You have to keep in mind the PSU is built inside the PS3, so it is what pushes the heat up in the machine. I am planning on buying a fan kit for my PS3 (if its quiet), just because its 2.5yrs old now and I run it everyday for 3-4hours.

I wouldn't buy the fan kit for any console. It doesn't help much so it is basically a waste of money, which is made even worse when you realize the game you could have bought in its place. If you do buy it save the receipt so you can take it back if you don't like it . Stay Sharp, ~Leon Xion~
