    I've been going back and replaying some old games lately, today I tossed in Uncharted 2 and about 5 seconds after the opening cinematic my PS3 beeped 3 times, then shut off and the red light started to blink. Everything else with the PS3 is fine, it will still turn on, still play movies and music. I can play downloaded games off of PSN.

    I even checked if it was the Uncharted disk, I put Uncharted 1 then 3 in (used them because they are the only ones I had with me that didn't require an install.) Uncharted 1 worked fine, but the same problem with Uncharted 3. I've tried playing online/offline, patched and without any patches and its always the same problem.

    If anyone has any advice on the matter it would be greatly appreciated.

    That happened to me a couple of years ago but my PS3 never turned back on. I'd copy all saved data you have ASAP just in case.

    Worst case scenario, you may have to factory restore it. But there are, potentially, other options. Check this out: LINK
     
    It's totally legit. I used it myself a couple months ago when games started acting up. Try rebuilding the database and file system. It won't delete anything important.
