Okay so yesterday I got Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for my PS3 and started the story mode. Did the first mission and about halfway into the second one I hear a large noise. At first I think it's coming from another room or something but then I realize my PS3's fan started spinning faster and louder.
My first instinct was to turn off my PS3 and turn it back on. I did so and started that mission again. Got a little farther but same thing happens again. My fan starts to spin faster and louder. So I turn it off and started playing again today.
Got into I think the third or fourth mission and the same thing happens again. This time I turn it off and do the thing where you hold the eject button and turn it on from the back. The fan finished spinning and I go back to playing Bad Company but this time I start playing the multiplayer.
I actually played maybe 2+ hours of multiplayer until once again the fan starts acting up. So, my question is.....WTF is happening?
Weird thing is happening.

3 or 4 inches isn't TOO much space (though it should be enough, I'd figure)" @crono11: It's not hot in this room but the PS3's fan just blows into the wall which is about 3 or 4 inches away. "
Why don't you just try moving it to an entirely different room with plenty of ventilation and see if it still happens?

@Abyssfull: I hope so. I'll be pissed if my PS3 gets a YLOD. I'll go back up my game saves just in case.
