PS3 resets after i "quit game"

I recently got Darksiders and have been playing that, but when i try to quit the game the PS3 resets. (like a soft reset, double bip and reboots quickly)

I know this may happen when games are loading and so on, maybe while quitting multiplayer games, but in this case i save, then quit to the game's menu and wait a little while and then quit, and still does this.

So far this is the only game that does this, its weird. At least at this point no message for incorrect turning off the PS3 has appeared.

Have this happened to you guys?

From what I've discovered this is something that happens with other games as well. It's nothing to worry about. Yes it's annoying, but your ps3 isn't dying or anything. You could try to delete the game data, but make sure you keep your save file and reinstall the game. Also, this seems to do the trick too: 1 - Go to initial screen 2 - Log out PSN 3 - Exit GAME 4 - No more reset Let us know what happens :)ydnarrewop

Well, the delete data didnt help :(

And about the log in/out, im always loged out (i normally dont have the internet cable conected to the PS3) so i dont think thats a problem. I did have had problems being loged in and turning off the PS3, so thats why i stoped doing that a long time ago.

Mmm, i tried a couple more times with Darksiders and kept getting the same reset thingie with it. I tried other games, like Dark Souls, Deus Ex HR, and they work fine, i can quit the game normally (main menu, then XMB)

I looked around a bit and it seems it was a pretty common problem with Darksiders at the time, and looks like a patch to fix this issue never came out.

Probably a problem with the auto-save feature of the game that was glitched. (thats why i tried Dark Souls, since its auto-save only, but after i quit to the main menu i can leave without problems)

It seems its ok to go to the menu of the game and then just turn off the PS3 (PS Home hard press and turn off) instead of going to the XMB and then doing the same.

My console has been doing the same thing recently. I wonder if one of the recent updates has anything to do with it?

my ps3 does this from time to time, I think its more a game issue then the ps3 issue.

This happens to me too with a variety of games.

It happens because sometimes you guys either leave the game on pause and decide to quit at that moment. Sometimes the HDD indicator is on and you guys don't realize. Remember .. don't quit or turn off your system when it's on, or you might just corrupt you save files. One of the reasons the PS3 resets is because of that.

Best tip i can give is try going to the main menu .. and i guess wating a couple of minutes. Then quit. Try to see also if the orange light is not on.

@ydnarrewop : yeah, but still sucks that it happens :(

@Golevka @mstrchf12 : this is what im reading mostly, leaving multiplayer games while the match is going. Darksiders seems to be one of those single player games that is also affected by this and seems to not have solution.

@gMemo92 : thats the thing, i dont leave the game after i pause, i pause, quit to the main menu, wait for a while there, and then i try to go to the XMB, and still resets the PS3. I think in the case of Darksiders is an internal bug with the game, maybe related to the auto-save feature of the game.

it happened to me with Kingdoms of Amalur, played about 75 hours with no problem, then after 76 hours, each time I exited the games it reset the PS3 instead

so it is only some games specifically and maybe if you've played this game a lot, thus have a big save for that game - it may be similar to the bug that was in Skyrim that happened when your save file was too big the game would crash when the auto game would kick in
