Hey,

My PS3 froze a few minutes ago. I waited 5-10 minutes to see if it would unfreeze itself, and it didn't. I pressed the powr button down for a few seconds; it beeped once, then three quick times. I undertand that the 3 quick beeps means it had forzen. Is what happened, and what I did harmful for the PS3?

-Thanks

No, that's how I turn it off when it freezes, never from the back though.

I think your supossed to hold the front buttons down until it resets, and yes never from the back, Like I did for 3 years and my ps3 died on me a couple of weeks ago

Alright, cool, thanks. Is freezing somewhat regular? How often does your freeze?

-Thanks

mine froze for the first time in the 3 months I had it yesterday playing Battlefield: Bad Company online, so I would say no, it isn't too super common but nothing to be worried about.

When my Ps3 freeze on me i normaly hold the power button on the front untill it resets , but the last time holding the power button wouldnt reset it , and the disc in the drive sounded like it was spinning like crazy, still it wouldnt restart and both blue and green light was flashing so i did turn it off at the back, and it had been kinda funny with load times since, i say since ive only tried it once since lol but ill let you know if its ok next time i try it
