Last few days the beloved PS3 has been acting up. We have had for almost 5 years with ZERO problems and initially thought it might be dying.
Our PlayStation 3 has been freezing during games ( in this case Call of Duty).
I called Sony about an unrelated issue ( we couldn’t see or use newest PlayStation Zombie Maps- although we had paid for them they weren’t showing up after download.. ( come to think of it shoudl right a post)
Problem SEEMS to be fixed after a “restore file system”
This is what to need to do to fix the freezing problem on PS3. It is likely a file has been corrupted.
Power off PS3.
Hold down power button ( it will be red) Power button will turn green and beep. Keep holding it down until you hear 2 shorts beeps ( takes about 10 seconds or less).
When you hear the double beep release finger from power button.
After that screen will prompt you to connect a controller to the PlayStation 3 console using a USB cord. Follow onscreen directions and then screen with appear with 6 options.
The third option is “restore file system” choose that. Takes about 2 minutes.

Done.
Let me know how this works for you!
