Okay, so ever since downloading the MGO Beta, I've been getting this problem where I try to start my PS3 and the green light turns on, then flashes yellow, and then blinks red repeatedly and refuses to turn on. The only way I've found to prevent this again is to flip the power switch and unplug it for a little while, then try again. Note: this doesn't happen every time, but it's still very annoying.
I'm wondering, have any of you experienced this, and what did you do for it? Also, what should I do for it??

Thanks.

There could be a problem with the beta when you downloaded it that is causing the problem. You could try resetting the settings to the default settings (if done correctly you won't lose your data). Also if there is things in the cache it can cause a problem that all you need to do is dump anything in this file. Also if there is cookies in your web browser it can cause problems.

I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but why do people always ask for peoples advice when their systems are acting up. Why not just call the manufacturer? Eldrew, my recommendation to you sir is call Sony. They are probably your best source of information. And who knows, maybe they can help resolve your problem over the phone. One other thought that I just had, was maybe try un-installing the MGO Beta that you have and then re-install it. Maybe something happened during the download process.
